Years ago Bill Bailey and Sean Lock did an Edinburgh show called Rock. One performance had only one audience member. They went out to apologise for cancelling and it turned out to be a fellow comic who hadn't paid. He asked them to go ahead anyway.

Did everyone else know that Page 3 girl Maria Whittaker is now known as Maria Rastafari and married to the Rebel MC ? Sounds like something Stuart Maconie made up, but it ain't

Btw, I interviewed him once and he went to the trouble , without my knowledge, of finding out what car I drove and my girlfriends name then concocting a tall tale about me during the interview. A proper craftsman.

This is one of the loveliest things I've seen for a long time. A half hour 1971 documentary reuniting some doo wop groups who all sound magnificent. If you haven't got half an hour , jump to 12.36, then you'll find the time

Voices of Doo-Wop

Voices of Doo-Wop was a TV documentary that aired in 1996 on TNT featuring the Chords, Lillian Leach and Bobby Mansfield.

I have a feeling this thread might produce all my favourite tweets of all time. If only there were some way to hear the music from before you were around. Some sort of 'recording' maybe. I can but dream.

At one point he said 'Oh I'm a wanker am I ? Scream girls'. All the girls screamed and he looked at the main culprit and said 'at least I've got something to wank about'. Brought the house down.

Much as I love Pulp (who owe something to this), I don't think anyone has come close to Jilted Johns depiction of working class teenage angst. And I find the last line of this absolutely heartbreaking.
