Thanks to all for this week's suggestions and I'm sure Pudsey would join me in saying special thanks to everyone who contributed to a pound a play to Children in Need.
I hope you the themes for next week and we are looking forward to seeing the suggestions. I think Tuesday's theme is going to be a lot of fun and if you can pick out a top tune then feel free to send me an mp3 of you in action.

Monday
Tonight it's the Black Magic Woman v's The Brown Eyed Handsome Man. It's Get It On's battle of the sexes. I want to play a 'man' song followed by a 'woman' song alternately throughout the show. This Charming Man or Sweet talking Woman? You decide...

Tuesday
Can you do Robbie Williams on the recorder? Is Richie Blackmore your guitar hero? Or can you tinkle away to the intro to Coldplay? Songs you can play is tonight's theme.
Ask for any song you like - the catch is that you or maybe one of your kids must be able to play it.Would be musicians - this is your night...

Wednesday
It's been announced that Galloway Forest Park is one of the best places in the world to see stars, so on tonight's show we turn our focus skywards. Starman, Catch A Falling Star or Lucky Stars. It's stars singing about stars...

Thursday
Henri Hannah has come up with a cracking theme of songs you love by the artists you don't. Can't bear Bono but love Where The Streets Have No Name? Does Life Is A Rollercoaster mean you've learned to rate Ronan Keating, and did Phil Collins ever release a good song? Get in touch and tell me about the track that stands out for you...

A top BBC producer...sweating...pink legwarmers...Yes, it must be Children In Need time. Here's the video evidence of what happened when we put 'Babs on the bike' for Children In Need. I'd say it was rated at least PG 13. No bad language but there are scenes of a lady in lycra which some viewers might find bewildering. If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this video then I'd urge you to go to the Children in Need site and make a HUGE donation.

Well done Miss Babs. Two hours of non stop cycling and still enough puff to shout orders across the studio. If you want to join in the challenge to catch Mark Beaumont as he cycles The Americas then there's more information on the Children in Need website.

There were some very clever suggestions for last nights 'doctors and nurses' theme. My favourite was the texter who suggested something off Gram Parsons' GP album.
There were several shouts for SAHB and Faith Healer. This prompted a bit of a debate about whether alternative healers could be counted for the theme. There was also the question of what do to about 'doctor' Gillian McKeith should she ever release a record. I loved the text from Fergie in Aberdeen who wondered if her debut single would be a cover of 'Stool Pigeon'!
