The force was with us on this week’s show thanks to Sir Alec Guinness and Family Guy. We enjoyed Gordon Taggart again, and a Numanesque dance mix from the Midwich Cuckoos. We celebrated a disco diva’s bad back, recognising Luther Vandross on a boat trip, the anniversary of a legendary recording from Sweet Gene Vincent. Plus, the 25th Anniversary of The Divine Comedy’s Cassanova album. I teased you with the angel Peter Gabriel’s lyrics and when were Dexys and Dave & Ansel Collins top of the charts? All in all the show was far superior to the last episode of Line of Duty.
