To break a 27 year record

Up there with cram ovett bannister

 

Not a spoiler but the difference between 3hr radio and 2hr TV was half an hour talking to David Baddiel in the interval and the radio programme actually being just 2 1/2 hrs not 3.
Ergo the show next Friday should be the prom in its entirety.

Josh Kerr broke the 27 year old mile record in London today!

3:42:66!

It was brilliant,  masterful and gutsy.

I am going to wait to watch the Prog Rock Prom on Friday (BBC Four). You might be right about being disappointed so no spoilers please Mick @Newportnobby ! The First Night Prom (last night) was very good with the surprise ending...

Quote from: Newportnobby on July 18, 2026, 04:58:31 PMI do tend to prefer the 'heavier' side of the Doobies and this track appears as a 'B' side to one of their more well known types of single.
@port perran Martin, maybe best not to bother listening

Just listened - you are quite correct. Not my thing. 

A reminder the Prog Rock Prom is on tonight Radio 3 19.30hrs for 3 hrs
I'm a great devotee of the genre and classical music but have an awful feeling I'll be disappointed

So who's getting a Dapol SPAM wagon? 

@TeddytheSpoon be careful about fully enclosing decoders in tape - they may overheat.  Yes you need to isolate from other metalwork but otherwise leave the decoder room to breathe
