| Presumably Dermot is off doing X-Factor auditions this Summer. Wouldn't it be good if Saturday afternoons were three hours of POTP then two hours of Richard Allinson? |

I'd rather the three hours went to Richard Allinson. His original three hour Saturday afternoon show from about 10 years ago (it doesn't seem that long ago) was a must listen for me. I think two hours is enough for Pick Of The Pops.

Seconded - and I love the music from all three of those years so I'm very happy

1966 will of course be the best of the three: River Deep Mountain High, Paperback Writer, Paint It Black, Out Of Time, Sunny Afternoon etc.
As for 1975, oh dear...there's just I'm Not In Love and the not very PC 'whoa I'm going to Barbados', an excellent song, but I can't see Tony playing it. The rest of June 1975 is just plain awful.
1984's not too bad: FGTH, Wham, Bronski Beat. |

June 1975 also included the excellent Roll Over Lay Down by the Quo, but don't expect anything else.
Time to put my Hit Singles book away. |

Yep - my thoughts entirely. 1975 was a great year for touring, gigging rock bands and I saw many of them several times (including King Crimson!). But as for the "pop" charts in that year it was dire. The gulf between the two was very wide.
I'll stick to listening to the 1966 segment! |

As everyone else has said '66 will be the one I'll be listening to.
Richard Allinson back on a Saturday would be so good. I can remember listening to him while making dinner on a hot Saturday early evening with the door into the garden open and a glass of wine. Perfect summer listening.

| Yes, I couldn't agree more Helen. I used to love listening to him while pottering around doing DIY jobs etc., much like I used to enjoy Johnnie Walker's Saturday afternoon show on Radio One. But that was a long time ago! |

I've been trying to think who used to follow him as that was also good. Ah remembered now - Paul Gambaccini!
Wonder if we'll hear him again? I read in Paul Donovan's Sunday Times radio column a month or so ago that the hearing (or whatever it was) had been set for July. We are missing and/or losing so many good broadcasters.

PS sorry to go off topic a bit.

It's not really off topic Helen - what you say is perfectly true - and for what - some alleged offences many years ago when the culture - rightly or wrongly - was a great deal different to today

Is there a more up to date thread for POTP? If there is I'm blowed if I can find it!
Anyway ..I liked a lot of records Cliff made in his early career - good to hear On My Word by him on POTP today - not heard this one for ages. |

I had to think and there is but it's not really in the section that you'd look for it in!
http://r2ok.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?p=170825#170825
I missed Cliff's song as I didn't realise the time and saw the title still on the DAB screen. It's not one that I can remember at all, will have to listen back!
I enjoyed Lulu's Leave a Little Love and Peter and Gordon's To Know Him Is To Love Him from the 65 chart.
