45 Themes 2
Broadcast 12th June, 2016
A second show of TV themes (mostly) because I found I’d missed one really important one out (the BBC Film night one, from Billy Taylor).
I have added links to sites for each of the shows, and also for the lyrics to the two songs sung in Geordie which confounded the audience a little. Sorry about that – it would be my native accent if I retained one.
A peak of 24 listeners – very pleasing.
