I'll have Chloe Lukasiak who is apparently an American 'social media personality'. When the late great Douglas Adams was compiling his 'useless third of the population' list Youtubers, Instagrammers and general 'social media personalities' hadn't been invented (happy days) but I'm sure if he was around now they would be near the top of his list.

Elizabeth Beresford (aka 'The Great Creatress') went 6 foot underground (overground) this day 8 years ago Elisabeth "Liza" Beresford, MBE (/ˈbɛrɪsfərd/; 6 August 1926 – 24 December 2010) was a British author of children's books, best known for creating The Wombles. Born into a family with many literary connections, she worked as a journalist but struggled for success until she created the Wombles in the late 1960s. The strong theme of recycling was particularly notable, and the Wombles became very popular with children across the world. While Beresford produced many other literary works, the Wombles remained her best-known creation.

Can't let Maggie go - Honeybus (nimble ad)?

In dulce jubilo (good christian men rejoice) was a hit for Mike Oldfield in the 70s, is it that? Apologies for accidental post above btw..

OK I've done on already so someone else's go, and anyway there's still the arctic monkeys one in progress..

come outside - Mike Sarne with Wendy Richard on vocals as the girl he wants to take outside, she was Miss Brahms in are you being served, so I assume he was in the other one

Those Were The Days, Mary Hopkin Yep, that's the one.

Song that started life as a Russian folk song but was adapted and translated to become a UK no 1 hit for someone who went on to become a Eurovision song contest contestant.

I'm into something good by Hermans Hermits co-written by Carole King?

Nothing by the Wombles. Sam Smith, stay with me?

Welcome Oxfordshire, huh? North or south? North - Kidlington to be precise...thanks for the welcome...

If I need it badly enough yes, but anyway, here goes. Hi guys, nice to meet you. Look forward to a long and fulfilling something or other.

My devotion to Anna Friel has led me to watch a lot of rubbish films with her in, but by far and away the worst is Mad Cows, a laugh-free comedy also 'starring' Joanna Lumley doing a re-run of Patsy from AbFab, only the dire script renders her painfully unamusing. And Anna keeps her clothes on throughout. Dreadful.
