I'll give you a couple more tracks
Automatic Lover - Dee D Jackson
Flowers in the Window - Travis
Have you been listening on a Thursday night to Sounds of the 20th Century?
If you were listening a couple of weeks ago the answer was in that programme
I'll give you a bit longer to have a think about it before I give any more clues

Yes Schiz, close enough - the link was actually original Radio One Presenters so well done and have a crack at guessing the fourth track
I won't give any clues just yet - it's not too difficult

No sorry Graham, it's not any record by Tony but the name you are looking for is probably almost as well known

No sorry Angel - not the right presenter
I'll leave it a bit longer before I give you a musical clue

I can't think of any songs/artists with Peel in them so I'll go for Make It Easy On Yourself by The Walker Brothers (though not sure if JW was an original Radio One jock).
Perhaps it should be My (pirate) Ship Is Coming In! |

No sorry Schiz - I believe Johnnie Walker joined in 1970
The name you're looking for is very famous but you need to find the correct track which links

No sorry Angel - wrong presenter
I'll give you a musical clue
The original version of the track you are looking for was released in the 60's but this song has since been a hit track for two separate artists since then the most successful version being in the 90's
Hope that helps

Well done Angel - spot on 
It's over to you for the next link
Oh and I'll pour your glass of virtual champagne - of course in the best possible taste

Anything connected with the assassination of JFK?
November Guns Killing - and I think he was scheduled to go on to California after Texas

I'm rather stumped on this one - the only very tenuous link I can come up with is Girls
Bunny Girls
California Girls
But the first track doesn't fit unless it's something like Weather Girls

Well I suppose that perhaps suggests a Shakespeare link but I still don't really get it
Dream - A Midsummer Nights Dream?
Roses - The War of the Roses?
Am I getting any nearer - I'm not very good on English Literature

No, it's not a Shakespeare link.
Think back to the name of a television series in the 1980s featuring a female police inspector, that might help. |

Well that suggests to me Juliet Bravo featuring Anna Carteret and later I think some other actress called Stephanie ( can't remember her other name) but I still don't get the link
I remember the series very well - her sidekick was called Joe and it was set in Yorkshire I think a fictional place called Hartley - perhaps I'm missing the obvious
The only other thing I can think of is the phonetic alphabet

| Good guess, Graham, I hadn't thought of that one. The one I had in mind was Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy, so well done Ruddles. |

OK here's the next link
Tell It To My Heart - Taylor Dayne
Keep on Running - Spencer Davies Group
Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe
Quite an easy link I think

Oh you're very close Graham I'm inclined to give you that - former snooker players but to get the actual link you need to come up with what they do now (or in the case of Lowe did before his sad demise)
Just a bit more information needed

Yes well done Graham absolutely correct
So now I need the fourth track in the link - I'm not going to give any clues at this stage because I think it is fairly obvious

I'll guess
Eighth Day - Hazel O'Connor
I'm afraid I don't know much about snooker but I think Hazel Irvine commentates. |

No sorry Angel - I think she's more a presenter rather than a commentator but I'm sure you should get it fairly soon simply because there are relatively few names to choose from
I'll leave it a bit longer before I give a musical clue
Actually the commentator concerned used to live just up the road from one of my old addresses

No sorry not the right track - it might help you to think of a TV series which I seem to recall was around in the 70's or early 80's with a definite avian link in its title

What a great answer Angel - I'd definitely have used that one if I'd thought of it
With the avian link think of a TV mini series in 1983 which was taken from a 1977 novel by an Australian female author - very well known at the time
The track you are looking for was a hit in the mid 80's by artists who were probably up among the biggest of that decade and who continue to enjoy successful solo careers still in the music business

Right snooker person Angel but wrong track - that should narrow it down quite a lot
