Trev and Scott Goodings want you to get your dance on for TV this week.

22.01.2022 Who do you remember from TV who was ‘in the building game’?

Who else was handy on the tools on the small screen?

13.01.2022 Ralph called in this morning saying he has never found a recipe for potato pancakes the way his mother made them. I have many online (classic latke might be th...e one -- grated potato + onion + flour + egg), but there are Korean, Polish, German (Kartoffelpuffer) potato pancakes. Kartoffelpuffer can be enjoyed with sweet toppings as well as savoury so Pav may be opposed. The question Ralph has raised really is what makes a pancake? See more

11.01.2022 Saturday Night fever would have been a flop without the songs, what were the Beatles thinking when they made Magical Mystery Tour, and if it wasn’t for the soundtrack of Jonathan Livingston Seagull nobody would have bothered to go to see the movie or read the book. When the music lives on long after the film has gone. Which soundtracks have outlived the movies that accompanied them?

10.01.2022 What fictional news outlets do you remember from TV? There’s current affairs show Frontline, Clark Kent’s masthead the Daily Planet, and Radio Norwich where Alan Partridge plied his trade.
