#BIRTHDAY: Nicki French from the UK has a birthday today Those decades keep on coming, and it’s the turn of that which some call the ‘noughties’. It’s an odd term, so we’ll just call it the first decade of the 21st Century. Sure, you could argue that today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vânia Fernandes from Portugal is 37 today You want a cracker of a song? One that has everything? Power? Emotion? Wind machines? Wafty dresses? Marzipan? Well, maybe not the marzipan, but look no further. Still intrigued? Well today’s song comes from that breed that everyone wants to […]
Tonight will see the launch of Strictly Come Dancing 2023. We spoke to one of this year’s celebrity participants back in Turin, before we knew he was going to be participating – BBC Radio 2’s Richie Anderson. Richie Anderson told us about life at BBC Radio 2, his […]

#BIRTHDAY: Victoria from Bulgaria is 25 today That class of 2020, eh? They keep amazing us with their also being the class of 2021. It was commendable of the various TV companies continuing to back them, and it was ironic the winners of 2021 weren’t there in 2020. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Buket Bengisu from Türkiye is 46 today Our friends in Turkey/Türkiye are taking a sabbatical at the moment, and many of you out there miss them. They brought something slightly exotic to proceedings, and their language – for many years anyway – was alluringly different. Just over […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lesley Roy from Ireland is 36 today That class of 2020, eh? How unlucky were they? They get all dressed up and have nowhere in Rotterdam to go. That is, until 2021 when some of them get that second bite at the cherry. One of that lucky […]
