The things they say …

DJ’s, that is. Tony Hall to be exact, a talking head on the Motown Revue documentary last night. Quite apart from the Revue Tour of 1965 being played out to half empty theatres, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames holding up the Tour bus and the narrator calling Mr. Berry Gordy - Mr. Motown himself - Barry (I swear he did) Tony said the best thing about the Revue show was Stevie Wonder - who was blindingly brilliant …

I remember an episode (if that's what you call it) of Never Mind The Buzzcocks where the guest host made a joke about Stevie and when the others laughed and said he was being a bit harsh he said 'ok, sorry Stevie if you're watching' then realised what he'd said and went bright red. I laughed really hard!! :o)

I see you're watching the choir drama on BBC too :o) No slap as yet, but I get the definite feeling this is one of those dramas that's going to have a feelgood conclusion to it because it's quite light. So I'm hoping bunny boiler and philandering husband get there's, snooty mob get seriously humiliated and Sarah Lancashire gets it on with hot curate guy - what you think? ;o)

ha ha - absolutely on all of the above - the snooty lot are atrocious aren't they - I mean, good for the tv prog - and some real mystery surrounding hot curate guy and the bunny boiler! Liking it a lot!

I reckon they're siblings rather than ex-lovers, but that's just my theory :o)

I think you could be right there. I wonder what his secret is!

He's a bit rogueish (is that a word?), So I wonder if he's been in trouble with the law or something like that. It'll come out in a couple of episodes probably, but he'll pull through - with Sarah Lancashire's help of course ;o)

yep - there'll be accusations of betrayal then it'll be shown to be a misunderstanding; he's blaming himself for something the bunny boiler did, but yes - Esther will pull him thorugh!

They probably paid the writer(s) loads and they could have had us ;)

I know! My talents are wasted in this basement ;o)
