Tik and Tok rock....
I've taken a few minutes out during 'Stairway To Heaven' to update the blog. The unexpected cover versions show is one of the busiest in a long while and it could run on for another two hours tonight - not sure how Archie would feel about that though! Ant on the text suggested a version of Summer In The City by Tik and Tok, the electro-mime duo who were famous for their robotic dancing back in the mid 80s. That sent me off searching for a picture of them online and I came across this one which made me smile....and not just at their bizzare sense of style.
The reason was that it was a photoshoot for Patches magazine and I was there on the shoot. As I was the pop editor at the time it might have even been my idea. Oh the shame!! Richard, King of trivia also contributed to our Tik and Tok fest withe following trivia: *** - One of them went on to be an extra in Star Wars! *** - Before going solo the boys were in a band called Shock with Carole Caplin, the woman who went on to be Cherie Blair's stylist! Wonder what she made of the tigerskin shoulder pads...

Do we know which is which?
Or are they interchangable, like Ant and Dec?

This story was much more exciting when I misread it as "Before going solo the boys were in a band called Shock with Carole Caplin, the woman who went on to be Cherie Blair!"

King of Trivia he may be, but someone needs to tell Richard that you don't sound the "L" in Kirkcaldy.
(In which Beatles' song does Kirkcaldy get a mention?)

Is there a prize - mucho dinero?
I still don't think the producers add to the programme.

#29 Ok, DC it was one of yours, however, it was just an aside.
#28, Interesting point on the producers GM.
Are you suggesting its a bit like football managers picking themselves as centre forward? Or trying to circumvent the old adage that those who can present, do, those who can`t, produce?
(BTW, it would be `muito dinheiro`if it was coming from me)

Some technical help is obviously required to deal with incoming messages and find the music but they don't have to talk. It's sometimes more like breakfast TV than a music show. It was also sharper when it was an hour long.
I appreciate your efforts to disseminate Portuguese. It seems quite similar to the cod Spanish I have gleaned from westerns and Four Seasons records which you seem to understand.
