In this week’s show we had an Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark record introduced by Griff Rhys Jones, doing an impression of Bamber Gascoigne. Scottish comedian Andy Hamilton’s record had a bit of Paul Gascoigne added to it, while Rik Mayall fired us all up for Friday night. We doffed our cap to a great album from The Dame, and remembered the great Ella Fitzgerald, and asked the question when were The Beatles and Smokey top of the pops?
This week was a laugh and we mixed up the genres like only our show can. Why not search for Off The Record on Facebook and say hello.
