We had no guests in the studio tonight, so we let the music do the talking, with lots of news items scattered throughout the show. We looked at a government survey of the occupations that gave people the most satisfaction. Out of 248 different jobs, Vicars and Priests came top and at number 248 were bar staff and pub landlords. We also considered that we have too much stuff in our houses that we never use and maybe it time for a spring clean and take it all to charity shops. We also delighted in the unexpected news that Kate Bush is to perform live for the first time since 1979 (unbelievable!) and the sale of the cloaks worn by Ringo and George in the film Help for over £100K by Richard Lester, film director of the film Help.
