    He likes to get it out and handle it and he fears that his control is not adequate and he might break some bits and if he can't look at it and enjoy it properly he feels that it should be with someone who can

    After the 80s would there be any interest in going back to do the sixties before we very nervously step foot into the land of horrors which will be 90s No.1s?

    I think there is a Frankie problem with this list (and I do not mean the Sister Sledge track) I can see all three failing to qualify unless there is a consensus that The Power of Love is the only one worth saving

    Whilst I won't be riding in on a charger to save it I actually think that the Stevie Wonder song is actually really effective and does what it says on the tin. Harsh for it to go early

    Three of my initial five survived. Madness, Bonnie Tyler & Men At Work. Adam Ant and Phil Collins failed to make the grade. However I don't dislike the other remaining songs. I have picked my five for the next round but there is quite a lot of good stuff but there are things that need to die quickly and not just the Invasion of the charity singles.

    Dustin Gee is always very helpful in explaining to the younger generation who cannot understand why Les Dennis is famous. Dennis was a better impressionist but Gee had better comic timing
