#BIRTHDAY: Zdravko Čolić is 74 today It’s important to remember that our favourite TV show started around the middle of the 20th Century – it’s not just a thing invented in the 2010s for people to show off posh frocks and much arm waving. And with 20th Century […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maxi from Ireland is 75 today Some countries in our favourite TV show have had a very illustrious history, even if these days it’s a little more patchy. It’s difficult to fathom out why. Or is it? So to remember those past good times, we’ve delved back […]

#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Marie David is 71 today A winner? Well, there have been 70 of them, so they’ll crop up here from time to time. There is another winner who has a birthday today, but I’ll save her for another year. Today’s birthday girl Anne-Marie David has actually represented […]
