Part 3 of the John Peel Festive 61 from 1977. A lot better quality although things did get confused during the Igster's spot

Part 1 of John Peel's 1977 Festive 61. Chosen by the great man.

Awful quality but worth persevering.

The Pistols were in position 61 but didn't make this file

Mickey Bradley played this on Saturday and it was great. Billy Bragg and his guitar with no frills.

It has been a while since I heard it. Time to revisit the back catalogue

Australian reaction: let's get the heads down and work through this

English reaction: result. Let's get down to the golf course.

You wait 40 years for a trophy and three come along at once

Congrats to Hull KR on winning the grand final today. Best team all year and deserved winners. Well done Willie Peters, Mikey Lewis and the team.

I recently got a copy of the programme from the 1990 England Australia Wembley test and there is a page on the 1963 meeting. Don't linger too long on the scores but gate receipts of £6K.

You see that's the sort of thing I notice.

Hope the pic comes out OK

And finally our trip takes to the Hotel Washington Golden Tulip via a couple of trains and 5 minute walk. And that is all for tonight

Next, we are sat in the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras waiting fir the train to Paris.

A bit of a blast from the past. A stamp in the passport

A swift transfer at Darlington and we are bound for London Kings Cross

4 days in England now we are heading to Paris.

After hot weather it's back to a tepid English summer's day. Let's hope Paris is a bit warmer.

And it's like being at school with a packed lunch in my bag. Banana and egg sandwiches natch.

Lighting striking twice on #totp in 1985

First the magnificent Kirsty McCall doing Billiam Bragg's New England. But who is adding the oohs eeehs? Looks like the Mint Juleps to me.

And next up Howard Jones with an Afrodiziak
