In episode 5 of Tim and Jerry, they discuss July 1976. They find that there isn't much in Jer's diary for that month, but they talk about breaking up from school and sleeping in a tent in the backyard. They also mention going on holiday to Seatown. They reminisce about the hot weather and the fun they had as kids during the summer. They mention some news events and celebrity births from that time. They also talk about their musical tastes and how they were influenced by their parents. Overall, they acknowledge that the early 70s may have less material to discuss, but they look forward to future episodes. Hello, and welcome to episode 5, show 5, or should we call it episode 5 of Tim and Jerry. It's a welcome from me, Tim, and a welcome from me, Jer. There we go. So this week, we are talking about July 1976. So at the end of the last episode, we decided that we'd go back in time to July 76. But actually, we find that the diary is fairly lean picking. You've not really started the diary by that point. Not really. There's a few things, literally, probably two or three things in there for that month. I will go through them, but yeah, it won't take long. No. Your PC is also gone. Yeah, my PC is gone. So there's not much research being able to be done by me this week. So yeah, it's lean pickings, but we'll do our best. Yeah. We'll make it interesting. So for those people looking for a shorter show, you may end up with a shorter show, but we do tend to kind of yak about nothing. We do, yeah. So I very much doubt it'll end up being a shorter show, but you never know. You never know. Anyway, July 1976, we traditionally start with, what were we doing? So what does the diary show us doing? Well, the diary, with me as a 13-year-old, the first thing in there is on the 22nd of July, which is the Thursday, and it just says, we broke up. Very important when you're 13, wouldn't you say? Yeah, absolutely. 76 was the end of my first year at secondary school. So yeah, that was a huge thing going to secondary school. I remember that well. And 1976, that September, sorry, July 76 was when we broke up. Two days later, I have gotten there. We slept out, which means that Simon and myself slept in my green tent on our lawn, which when you're 13 is quite a big thing, really. You're out in the wilds on our back lawn. And I remember we went down to the local park a few times and got frightened and came back. But during that summer, we slept out quite a lot, and we did really for the next three or four years on and off. It was good fun, and yeah, it's the sort of thing that kids do, and that's what we did. And the only other thing really in my diary is that the very last day of the month, which was Saturday the 31st of July, we go on holiday to Seatown. Seatown is down sort of near Lime Reader's Chalmers Way. And I know that we rented a caravan from a neighbor of ours called Mr. Lee's. And so I know we went the following year, because I know I was down there when Elvis died in August 77. So yeah, we went to Seatown, and from there, we went to see various relatives and went to places like Exmouth and Dorchester and stuff. But that's into August, so I can't really talk about that. That would be a whole other week. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. But we actually went on the 31st, Saturday the 31st of July. So that's it for the diary. I'm sorry. Well, that's okay. That's okay. Remembering July 1976 was, of course, it was a big drought. It was. It's often remembered as the summer of 76. It was big house pipe bans. We'd never had a summer. We were, what were we, 12, 13? 12, 13, yeah. But we'd never done anything like it. It was proper hot. It was. It was long, long, hot, sunny days. And even the nights were warm. The hens were sleeping out. And we did all the things that kids at that age would do. Rode bikes and played football and cricket and made dens and stuff like that. But it was ideal weather. And it's not, I think, beyond the grounds of possibility to say that there were days when we went off in the morning and came back in the evening. I think that was very much the case. Yeah, yeah. I think that was, you know, summer holidays were very much for us. It was, largely speaking, it was build a den. Go somewhere, build a den on pretty much day one of the holidays. And then our parents would sort of see us at the end of each day. We'd kind of go in for tea. Yeah, when we were hungry and go in for sleep as well. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes that was, you know, in a tent. But, yeah, it was an idyllic holiday weather-wise. Although I seem to remember that by the end of the drought, you know, adults in particular would seem to be getting quite fed up with it. It was because it was very hot. I even remember that we had, Britain had a Minister for Drought. Yes. Dennis Howell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You may be covering that later. But, yeah, it was brilliant. It was a big deal. It was a big deal. We'd not had anything like it or, you know, we've certainly not had droughts since we've had clearly hot weather. And the weather is a little bit all over the shop these days, isn't it? Absolutely, yeah. Apparently some of the country even had snow today. Wow. That's only happened in 1974, I think, they said. The lovely Laura Tobin told me on the weather this morning. Okay. It was in Kent, by the way. I know my friend Steve from Kent would probably say it was probably in Kent they had snow. Well, it may well be. Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story. So, yeah, if it suits interest for it to have been in Kent, then I don't think she specifically referenced where the snow was. Let's pretend it was in Kent. And then everybody's happy. So that's what we were doing. And like we say, kind of cut down this week. But I think kind of like going forward, probably the early years of the 70s are probably leaner pickings. Definitely. They're lean pickings for the diary. But we also had a kind of between shows, we had a look back at 1974, at the music of 1974 when, well, essentially kind of like myself and Jer were 10, 10, 11. Yeah. Which is, you know, you were in to see Bootsy Irwin. Yeah. Music perhaps wasn't big in our lives at that point. For me, it really was 75, 76 when I started to notice music on the radio and television and stuff. So 76 probably in particular was the first year I started really enjoying the pop music of the day. So whilst we may be able to go back to earlier times, I think that's, for me, from then on, it's really going to be a time when I can talk with any authority about what happened in the charts. So I think we found our kind of natural limit. I think I'm probably the same as you. I found that my musical taste, certainly in the early 70s, was very much influenced by my parents. You know, what cassette tapes my dad, you know, my dad was a big Carpenters fan. Yeah. And so we had a lot of Carpenters songs in the car. Whereas my dad was a big Wurzels fan and a big Glenn Miller fan. Is that right? Oh, okay. Yeah. So in each, you know, certainly, I don't know, do you still have a love of the Wurzels and Glenn Miller? Wurzels, definitely. I mean, you know, my oldest, Joel and I, went to see the Wurzels a couple of years ago. And I do look out for local gigs. Yeah. And I've got quite a bit of their stuff. Yeah, the love of the Wurzels has definitely followed down from my dad to me to Joel. Yeah. So yeah, we still love the Wurzels and we still go and see them when we can. So Pete Budd's still there? Pete Budd's still there. Tommy Banner's still there. But there aren't too many other originals. In fact, there are no other originals, I don't think. No. What, on this planet? Probably not on this planet, no. Right. No. But it's a great night out. I have to say, it's a really, really good night out. It's a good party night out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I recommend it. Yeah. No. It's a good party night out. So that's what we were doing as far as we can remember. But as regards news, let's just run through the news of the time. We had the first colour photos from Mars, apparently. Some of the news, when I kind of look back, and actually when I look at some of the, I'm going to cover the album chart a bit later on, there's some quite surprising things. And I kind of find that the first colour photos from Mars in 1974, because we'd only gone to the first walk on the moon, was seven years earlier than that. The first colour photos from Mars, that seems quite a big deal. Carlos Arias Navarro resigned as the Spanish Prime Minister. Not big news in my world, but let's report it. Tina Turner escaped her abusive husband Ike. They were on their way to a hotel, and I think it's kind of well documented that Ike wasn't the nicest fella. And he beat her up on the way to the hotel, and she finally had enough, so she escaped then, which is probably well documented in the film, What's Love Got To Do With It? Yeah. We'll run through a few births. July 76 was a big birth month. I looked through all the people that had died, and I didn't recognise any of the names, so I'm going to skip through them. Why not? And not say any of them, so let's just think positively about the world, because we had some big births. We had Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kelly Bright from EastEnders, who I feel I should know Kelly. I don't watch EastEnders. No. Kelly Bright. Nor do I. No, sorry. I feel that she's probably been on one of the reality shows. I think she's either been on Strictly, or I probably do know her. I probably don't. Eric Prydz. Now, I know who Eric Prydz is. Do you know Eric Prydz? Remind me. He had a number of hits about ten or so years ago. Quite a saucy vid. It was... Call On Me was the song, and it was a kind of... The scene was in a dance studio with ladies in leotards. You would... It was based on Valerie. Yeah. It was based on Valerie, but you would know some. I don't. Eric Prydz. Ellen MacArthur, Benedict Cumberbatch. You've heard of it. Yeah, I've heard of it. Benedict Cumberbatch. These were all born in that month. Fred Savage, who... The Wonder Years. I used to... It was a Sunday afternoon show in probably the mid-80s. It was a lovely little show. Lovely little show, quite gentle. I suppose it's modern-day equivalent. It's probably Young Sheldon, but you probably don't know Young Sheldon. No, no, no. But Fred Savage, he played Kevin on that one. He was also the little boy in Princess Bride. You ever seen the Princess Bride? Definitely not. Definitely not. Anna Friel. You know Anna Friel. Brookside. Brookside. She was famous. First lesbian kiss. And she was also in quite a hard-hitting detective show a few years ago. And I can't think what it was. But quite hard-hitting. Lisa Riley, who is from Emmerdale. Yes. And Luke Bryan, who is a country singer, who I'm familiar with because I quite like my country, but I think that might be one that's just for me. So what else happened? I've got another birth. Oh, have you? Who have we got? Patrick Kleiber, the footballer. Oh, right. Oh, okay. Eli the First, the Dutch footballer. Oh, right. He got along with Ruben Mitzvah. Yeah, absolutely. So it was good. Significant footballers. Are you covering tennis at all in yours? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I'll save the tennis news there, because I've got the Wimbledon results here. We talked about the heat wave, and obviously being the drought, but its peak was July the 3rd. That was the hottest day in the country, and it was in Cheltenham, so relatively local to us. But yeah, July the 3rd. David Steele became the new leader of the Liberal Party. Ken, my references to politicians around those times were very much from spitting image, and I think of David Steele as being a very... He was portrayed as a very little character that sat in somebody's pocket, from what I can remember. Possibly David Owen's pocket. Could very well be, yeah. President Nixon, who'd resigned back in 1974. Tricky Dicky. Tricky Dicky, yeah. So he'd resigned in 1974, but he was disbarred from practicing law in July 76. Jimmy Carter, who kind of like went on later to, obviously to become president, but in July 76 he won the Democratic nomination. And like I say, kind of like went on probably I guess in November time. November 76, yeah. To win that. I think Ronald Reagan took over. Oh right, oh okay. In 1980, 81. Blimey, can't you, Mr History? Yeah, I know, I know. And I think we're all still terrified at the prospect of Mr Trump kind of like potentially coming back. So yeah, they don't always get the right decisions. Canada stopped the death penalty. Seems, I don't know much we can say about that really. But Canada also hosted the Olympic Games for the first time. But you're talking about that. And are you going to be referencing Nadia Comaneci in that? In which case I will skip that bit as well. Are you going to be talking about any African nations withdrawing from the Olympics? I can jump that as well then. The Viking 1 lander successfully landed on Mars. Hence the earlier reference to the fact that it sent back some colour photos. A computer, I'm struggling with my own handwriting here. A computer beat a human for the first time in a chess tournament. And I guess you have to think about what computers were like back then. They were pretty basic. This is 1976 and even by the early 80s. Yeah, as I remember last week we were using BBC computers at school in the sixth form and that was 1980. And they were very basic. So four years earlier it must have been even more basic. But a computer beat a human for the first time in a chess tournament. John Lennon was granted permission to become a US citizen. And the last bit I've got here. Are you going to be talking about Bruce Jenner in any way? Kind of mentioned but only mentioned. Well only kind of like Bruce Jenner obviously has become latterly possibly even more famous for now being Caitlyn Jenner. He, latterly she, won the gold in the men's decathlon. And we will come back. I'll tell you what else I kind of found here. I was looking at comics. Were you a comics person? I was. It wouldn't surprise you to know that it was very much football based. But I do remember getting a comic called Action. Yes. Which I think I started taking or getting from the newsagent in July 77 I think. Maybe it was 76. You were working at the newsagent. No I wasn't. No I was doing a paper later but not in 76. No I wasn't, no. So yes the comic Action. I did get that. Yes because I kind of googled what comics were exciting. Because comics were big in my world. Not the comics that you kind of get these days. Well comics are a different ball of wax these days. A they're considerably more expensive. They were dirt cheap. They were kind of 8, 9p or something like that. That was 8 stroke 9p not 89p. But yes they were silly money kind of like that back then. And they were just kind of like little paper things. But yes the big ones back then Action as you said. You also got Were the Rovers a Tiger? No I haven't got those there. But the big ones in 76 were Hotspur. Action like you say. Victor. There seemed to be when I was looking through them. They seemed to be either football based or army based. There was lots of army. Victor and Action looked like it was more of an army type. Yes. There really was a lot of, as the name would suggest, action involved in the characters. But certainly based on the covers that I was looking at. So Hotspur, Action, Victor, Core. I definitely remember having Core. It was C-O-R. That was more my kind of thing. I was a bit more Beano, Dandy kind of like that sort of area. Whoopie which again was like Core. Again it was just kind of comic strip type stuff. Battle, Bullet, Topper, Beano and Dandy. Those were the big comics. There's another one that I know that our friend Simon used to get every week. It was called Warlord. Oh yes I remember that. Warlord. He used to love that. I didn't but he did. That was kind of like almost book size wasn't it? I think it was normal comic size. Right okay. I'm sort of picturing that but I'm picturing it more as a kind of smaller kind of almost book like size. Maybe that's what it became. Maybe. Now I remember that. Yes, Warlord. So that was the news from 1976. Now it's time to look at the chart music. Now we're going to take a slight, once we've had the music, let's have our music intro. Music intro. We've got the singles chart but what we've also got is I looked at the album chart. I thought that might be quite interesting to look at the albums because there's certainly the top 10. Obviously we'll look at the 40 to 21 of the chart but when we come to certainly the top 10 of July 76, it's a cracker. It's always the odd slightly dodgy song but as a general rule, it's a cracking week. But let's have a quick look at the album chart first. If we look at the albums that got released that week, they pretty much all feature in the chart. The albums that got released were A Night on the Town by Rod Stewart. Brilliant. That made it into number six in the chart. What sort of songs would have been on that then? I think Tonight's the Night. 1976. The first cut is the deepest and The Killing of Georgie was a big hit from it. But what an album. For me, that's Rod at his best. Mid-70s, fantastic. Obviously he's still rocking it these days. He is. Then we've got one of these characters that I remember seeing at an airport kind of like once. I was terribly excited seeing him at an airport. Demis Roussos. That's right. Because he was quite a noticeable, he was quite a big fella. He was. He was quite a big unit, as my friends in Wales would have said. But made more kind of obvious by the fact he's kind of very much more tense. He did. He did. It didn't necessarily flatter. No. But yeah, he was a big unit. And he had two albums that year, or that month actually, bizarrely. One called Happy to Be and one called Forever and Ever. It's a sad fact, but I think I can tell you that the full title is Happy to Be on an Island in the Sun. Is that right? I think so. Oh gosh, right. Okay. So that was Demis Roussos and he had a hit, Forever and Ever. I don't know if you've seen this chart, but it was around that time. He had a few hits, but he was a Grecian guy who, yeah, it was kind of a warbly voice. Very much, yeah. I don't think he'd be a big hit now. Possibly appeal to the women folk a bit more than the guys back then, I think. Yeah, I suppose for the same reason that Barry White was kind of a hit. And then personal favorite of mine, The Carpenters, a kind of hush. That was out that week or this month as well. As I say, big Carpenters fan. Fivepenny Peace, King Cotton. I can't remember Fivepenny Peace. Can you remember that? No, I can't. But Fivepenny Peace sounds like a folk band to me. Yeah. They should be a folk band if they're not. And then we're big fans of these. And this is actually, it went straight in at number one. And it's still a damn good album now. 20 Golden Grates by the Beach Boys. Yeah. Yeah. And the Beach Boys actually featured twice in the singles. Yeah. In 76, the Beach Boys had a bit of a kind of renaissance, a resurgence. And I think it was mainly to do with the release of that album. It sold in bucket loads. And with the long hot summer that we had, that's probably linked to that as well. But there is, I think Brian Wilson was back with the Beach Boys sometime in July performing. They have since released more comprehensive best ofs. But at the time, that really was a fantastic album. It still is, as you say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they obviously went on to have more hits. Yeah, yeah. One of our quiet little favourites is Lady Linda, isn't it? Lady Linda. That was much, much later. 1979. 1979, there you go. Neil Sadaka, Laughter and Tears, The Best Of. Obviously, this was a time of best ofs and golden grates and great hits. But this is The Best Of, Neil Sadaka, Laughter and Tears. Again, I quite like Neil Sadaka, don't you? Yeah, yeah. I mean, he was coming to the end of his run of singles at that point. I think Laughter in the Rain was perhaps the last big song, which I think was 1975. So that one was probably the single to promote that album. I don't know for sure. But yeah, no, he certainly did some great stuff, mainly in the 60s, to be fair. Yes, yeah, yeah. Beautiful Noise, an album by Neil Diamond. Everyone became a Neil Diamond by it. Absolutely, absolutely. Disappeared without a trace, as ever. Nana Muscuri, again, I think, again, from Greece. You feel like she should have come out of Eurovision, but I don't think she did. She only had one hit over here, as far as I know, and I think it was Only For Love in 86. Right. It was weird. It was a top ten hit, I think, and I don't think she had a hit before or since, singles-wise, in this country. I think albums-wise, she's been very prolific. Yeah, yeah. But that album was called Passport. And then we've got John Anderson from, and it's a strange title, Elias of Sunhillo. Yeah, I'm not familiar with that album. I'm a huge fan of Yes, the band that John Anderson used to sing with. And the release time tells me that that was released before Going For The One, which was a big album for Yes in 1977. But over the years, John Anderson's released a lot of solo stuff, and all pretty good, to be honest. He's got quite a good pedigree. More famous for his work with Yes. Yeah. And he had a hit in the early 80s with John again. I'll find my way home. I'll find my way home. I'll hear you now. Yes, yep. And finally, the release of A Little Bit More by Dr. Hook. Again, had a string of hits around that time. A kind of, I don't know, very easy listening, really, weren't they? Yeah, I wouldn't quite call them country, but it was that sort of style, wasn't it? Yeah. You know, Sylvia's Mother, More Like The Movies, When You're 11, A Beautiful Woman, Sexy Eyes, all that sort of stuff. Covered, of course, very successfully by 9-1-1. Are you surprised I know that? Yes. I thought you would be. Oh, I love that. I think that was very late 90s. Yeah. I've actually bought the album. Perfect. For anybody that kind of, like, knows Jer, Jer is, as you can tell, the kind of doyen of knowledge for this, where it regards A certain period. 70s and 80s. It starts to drift off in the 90s a bit, really. It does, yeah. But certainly the last 10 years. Hence me referencing people like Luke Bryan in the kind of, like, the people who were born, and Eric Cridson, whatever. It's all a little bit lost. Yeah. The last 10 years. But no, 9-1-1, a good album as well. Yeah, well, there you go. There you go. So those albums that got released very much dominated the top 10. I'll just kind of skip through that 10. So at 10, it was a little bit more by Dr. Hook. Number 9, A Kind of Hush by The Carpenters, A Life of Sunhillo. John Anderson was at number 8. Number 7, and this is the one that surprised me. I'm sure it won't surprise you, but it surprised me. ABBA Greatest Hits was number 7. Yeah. And it got released in late 75. It just surprised me, because I thought, had they really had that many hits at that point? They had. I remember buying that on vinyl, as it was back in the day. And it was a sleeve with the two couples on, I think, sitting on a bench, or certainly on the front of the work. Yeah. It had things like Hasta Manor, and Nina Pretty Ballerina, Ring Ring, Another Town, Another Place, People Need Love. And I got to know all those songs by playing that album, as well as, obviously, the hits that they had, such as Waterloo and S.O.S. But I think, in truth, they went on to have the really big hits after that. Yeah. But they produced this Greatest Hits album. Yeah. There was a volume, too, that followed in late 79, which included the stuff from Arrival, and the album, and Voulez-Vous, and stuff like that. So, yeah. But it was a hugely successful album. Because normally, I'm sure there's many that prove me wrong, but actually, generally speaking, I feel that when a band produces Greatest Hits, that's ta-ta. I'll take my money, and retire on the earnings now. And don't they always release them at Christmas? Yeah. I'm a bit of a cynic that I am. But, yeah. ABBA entirely bucked the trend there. They did, yeah. And produced the Greatest Hits of... And then... Well, I think ABBA Gold is one of the... Yeah, yeah. That covers the entire back catalogue, doesn't it, really? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, that was at number seven, Greatest Hits of ABBA. A Night on the Town, Rod Stewart, we talked about him. Rod... Nana Muscuri at number five with Passport. Changes One, Bowie. Mr. Bowie. At number four, got released. Yeah. Greatest Hits. Yeah, fundamentally, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. The first of many Greatest Hits. And released by probably RCA, not David Bowie in particular, but yeah, his record company. Yeah, you can't argue with that. Can you look at Bowie's back catalogue up to 1976? Very much the clown period with Humpty Dory and Aladdin Sane. Then I think he went into his Berlin period from 76 through to 79. Yeah. And so, yeah. So, of course, a bit like Madonna, he was the master of reinvention. Indeed. And, you know, I guess we discovered him again in the early 80s with the whole Let's Dance period. Yeah, yeah. Who produced that? Oh, crikey, we're not going to... Oh, what's his name? Well, he's not... Hang on. Shall we get all of the... Nile Rodgers, we haven't mentioned Pickle yet, so shall we get that as well? We'll do that, yeah. And my friend Carol. There we go. All done. Nile Rodgers, Pickle, Carol. You've all had a mention. But entirely bucks the trend of what I said earlier on about people producing great hits and then disappearing without trace, because not the case with either ABBA, the Beach Boys, or Mr Bowie. So I'm talking, as ever, complete rubbish. Number three was Forever and Ever by Demis Roussos. Number two, Laughter and Tears, Neil Sedaka. And that Twenty Golden Grapes by the Beach Boys was at number one. So let us talk about the chart. So the actual singles chart, which is what we mainly talk about, let's go in at number 40. We have got Gallagher and Lyle, Heart on My Sleeve. I always feel juicy bad from a friend, Carol, who's already had one mentioned to do our little kind of... Say something about Heart on My Sleeve, and I'll just go, Heart on my sleeve, heart on my sleeve. I think it was one of only two big hits they had. Was it I Want to Stay With You? Yeah. Is that the other one? I want to stay with you. They did it in tune, though, mate. Yeah, they did. Yeah, a very listenable, easy listening duo. Yeah. Yeah, I think I've got a best of somewhere. Of which there was quite a few kind of easy listening duos around that time. Ooh, I love a bit of England. Yeah, we both do. Yeah, I'm not talking about the linen. No, indeed. So that was Gallagher and Lyle at 40. You've got Johnny Nash, What a Wonderful World. Is it a cover of the... That one. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, Johnny Nash, who again has had a few hits around that time. Yeah, I think we had a number one the year before with I Can See Clearly Now, so presumably that was released on the basis of that with maybe some of his older hits as well. Yeah, well, he bought some glasses when he could see clearly now. He could appreciate What a Wonderful World. It was, indeed. From having got those new glasses. And both of those songs were on their way down the chart, but in new at 38 was a gentleman called Johnny Wakelin with In Zaire. Yeah, One Hit Wonder, I believe. It was all about the boxing, wasn't it? I think. Or was it not? Have I got that wrong? Yeah. But, yeah, it was all very sort of drums-based. I'm not confidently singing it. In Zaire, In Zaire. It is that one. That's the one that was running through my head. Don't have to sing the rest of it. Yeah, all I've got is In Zaire, In Zaire. At 37, again, new, we've got 5000 Volts, Dr. Kiss Kiss. Again, that's surely One Hit Wonder. I can remember it. It was Dr. Kiss Kiss. Yeah, I don't know whether it was One Hit Wonder. I'm thinking maybe it was, but if it wasn't, then they certainly didn't have many other hits. And that was the biggest of them, I think. Didn't do a lot for me, I have to say. No, no, no, no. Danny and the Juniors. New at 36 with At The Hop. Obviously a re-release. Yeah, yeah. From, I think, possibly the 50s. Yeah, I was going to say. It seems to me that quite often through the 70s, and even into the 80s, we had periods of kind of renaissance of the rockabilly, rock and roll sort of stuff with re-releases and with bands, current bands, sort of covering stuff, Social Wildy Wildy Darts, that sort of thing. Well, you'll see when we kind of, as we've gone up the chart, you know, that is definitely the case with some of the ones we've kind of come to yet, because they were, well, we've got... Re-releases. We've got The Beatles later on, and 576, they were definitely... They were long gone. They were long gone. So Danny and the Juniors, At The Hop, like you say, that must have been some sort of re-release. 35, On Their Way Down, The Brotherhood of Man with My Sweet Rosalie. She never fools around. She always... Yeah, no. Yeah, a follow-up to the Eurovision winner, which would save all my pieces of the mix. Save all your pieces of the mix. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Quokka's Little Dance. Top ten hit, I think that one was. There they are. Four or five, five or six, maybe, top ten hits, excluding two number ones, I think. Yeah. Brotherhood of Man, interestingly, were a band from, I think, the earlier 70s. They had a chart hit with a song called United We Stand in 1970, I must say. So, yeah, they weren't a new band in 76, when they won Eurovision. Okay. But, yeah, they have hits, even going to the very late 70s, early 80s, 78, 79 into 80, I think. Okay. I've just looked at the time. We're 35 minutes in. Okay. I need to crank this. When it comes to your sport, we're looking at five minutes of sport, and I'll do very quick TV. But, right, back to the chart. We have got, I think I referenced earlier on when we were looking at the albums, the fact that we had some Beach Boys in the chart. So, new in the chart, at 34, was the Beach Boys with Rock and Roll Music. Yeah. Rock and Roll Music. Yeah, very song, released by the Beach Boys in 76, and it was a minor hit in this country, I think it got into the 20s or the 30s, which, at that point, was quite good going, because the Beach Boys, from about 72 onwards, were struggling for chart hits to be here. So, yeah, it was a good song, and a good version as well. Yeah, yeah. And then we've got Johnny Cash in the Tennessee Three with One Piece at a Time. Okay. I don't remember Johnny Cash, even being with, I remember Johnny Cash as being a solo artist. Yeah. But Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three, it was on its way up, One Piece at a Time. Thin Lizzy, who again, along with Nile Rodgers, Pickle and Carol, as many mentions, but Thin Lizzy on their way down with the iconic The Boys Are Back in Town, which, you know, for all the youngsters have probably even heard of that song, even if they don't listen to it. It's one of those jukebox songs that gets played a lot, and still gets played a lot on the radio, actually. Not my favourite Thin Lizzy song, I think I said last week, but it is. It's my iconic song, and, yeah, it still gets a lot of airplay. Yeah. Yeah. And it features in Toy Story. Oh, yes. I forgot on that. Yeah, yeah. And then in new at number 30, we've got Casey in the Sunshine Band, Shake, Shake, Shake Your Booty. Yeah. Yeah, it is Booty, and I'm going straight into that. Yeah, it is Booty, yeah. Again. Shake, shake, shake, shake your booty. Think I've heard that. Obviously. But again, had lots of hits around that time, Give It Up. The Wee Clubs. Yeah. Yeah, I should remember that. You should be able to remember more, but I know they had many, many hits. And then going up to 29, Walter Murphy, A Fifth Of Beethoven. That was on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Right, okay. So I think the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was more 77 than 76, so I imagine that was released as a precursor to that. It was kind of a disco version of it. Is it like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, not bad. Yeah, yeah. You like that sort of thing? Yeah. And then going up again to 28, we've got Billy Connolly, No Chance, No Charge. I think that was a parody of the J.J. Barrie song, No Charge. Oh, right, okay. Billy Connolly, I think at the time, used to do that. He did a cover of, or a parody of, In The Navy in 79, and he called it In The Brownies. Oh, right. So, yeah, it's a Billy Connolly parody. Yeah. And, well, we mentioned the Beach Boys were kind of new in at 34 with rock and roll music, but they were also, in the charts, on their way back down at 27 with good vibrations. Yeah. Probably, along with California Girls, probably the iconic Beach Boys songs, probably, aren't they? One of only, I think, two number ones they've had here. I don't think Kokomo reached number one here. If it did, then it's three number ones. But, yeah, re-released in 76 to coincide with 20 Golden Greys and to coincide with the Long Hot Summer and was a huge smash. 26 was a non-mover with War and Me and Baby Brother. I know War had a few kind of hits. I can't entirely pick that one. No. No, I'm not going to. No, let's move on then. On his way down, Billy Ocean at 25 with Love On Delivery. Obviously, he's had many, many hits and carried on into the 80s having some massive hits. That was one of his first chart hits, I think. Yeah. But Love On Delivery was on its way down. Now, Pickle, I could have just waited to pick Pickle for his mention now because he went to see them last night. Status Quo with Mystery Song. Yeah. He sent this from Vid. He obviously had a cracking night watching them in Swansea Arena. They are still rocking all over the world, but they were rocking up the chart at 24 with Mystery Song. I think you mentioned with the Rod Stewart album, Rod was on his way down at 23 with Tonight's The Night from his album A Night On The Town. It's just one of those great, great albums, in my opinion, that I never get tired of playing. It's got some big singles on there as well, and the re-release thing has got a lot of bonus stuff on there. It's a great album. It really is. I recommend it. And we have got, let's finish off with 22 and 21. So 22, again, clearly a re-release. The Shangri-La's with Leader Of The Pack. I don't know what would have prompted that. Yeah. No, I'm not sure, but 76 did have that re-release feel about it. Yeah. And yeah, it was a big hit. I think it might even have been top 10. It was certainly top 20. Because again, that would have been the 60s. Yes, that was the 60s. Yeah. So yeah, Shangri-La's, Leader Of The Pack. And 21, T-Rex with Mark Boland, I Loved Oogie. Again, classic T-Rex song. I think, again, probably one of their last big hits when Mark Boland was still alive. He died the following year. So, yeah. And again, it's another song that's had another life, or other lives, it's been pretty good. Yeah, again, it's still good. There's an advert and stuff. Yeah, it gets a lot of air. Because there's a lot of air, people are going, I loved the movie. Yeah, and I think there might even be an advert kind of running at the moment with it kind of on. So, yeah, it's like you say, it still gets lots of airplay. So that was music. And obviously we'll return to the top 20 in about 10 minutes or so. But let's go over to sport. We'll just have our kind of like sport jingle. Okay, let's carry on with sport. And it's going to be very brief. So we start with tennis. And on the 2nd of July, 76, Chris Everett of the USA beat Yvon Goulogon of Australia in the women's singles final at Wimbledon, as that might suggest. And the following day, on the 3rd of July, which I seem to remember what Tim said was the hottest day, Bjorn Borg of Sweden beat Ilia Nastasje of Romania. And interesting that the prize money was different then. The men's was £12,500, and the women's was £10,000 for the winners. So I think that might have changed by now. On July the 10th, the British Open was won by American Johnny Miller at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club. He was six shots clear of some blood called celebalisterol. He did, absolutely. He did okay in the end, didn't he? Yeah, didn't he just? Looking at cricket, the West Indies were over here again, like they were back in 1980. And in 76, they were at their absolute best. So we have a test match played at Old Trafford, and that was between the 8th and the 13th of July, 1976. And the West Indies beat England at Old Trafford by 425 runs. And just to mention, the England's first teams, they were all up to 71. Second test, sorry, I should say the fourth test, the second test in July, was at Headingley, and the West Indies beat England again by 55 runs. So not quite such a heavy defeat, but a defeat nonetheless. The West Indies won the series 3-0. The first two tests were drawn. And that must have proved especially pleasing for the West Indies after England captain at the time was quoted as saying that he would make the West Indians grovel. He certainly didn't. They made England grovel. England also lost the one-day series which followed in August 3-0. Football news, very brief football news, both about my beloved Arsenal. On the 9th of July, Arsenal appointed Terry Neal as their new manager. He had resigned from Spurs only nine days earlier, and he brought with him his assistant, Wilf Dixon. And the 29th of July, and I remember this very well, Arsenal signed Malcolm McDonald from Newcastle for a club record at that time of £333,000 and £333,000. So it was all the threes. And what a forward he turned out to be. Absolute hero of mine at the time. Just banged in the goals, which is what he was paid to do. OK, let's move on to probably the biggest event of July 76, which was the Summer Olympics were to Montreal. And they ran from July 17th to August 1st. I have to say at the beginning, as Tim mentioned, there were 25 African teams which rose to 33 in the end and boycotted these games. And that was due to New Zealand who were competing, a New Zealand rugby team playing in South Africa. And that was at the time of apartheid. So there were quite a few South African teams who actually boycotted the event. In total, there were 92 nations and they competed in 198 events. And that was in 21 different sports. I'm not going to list all the sports, but there were 21 different sports that were taken part in through that month. The winner's table, we had the Soviet Union at the top with a total of 125 medals. East Germany, remember East Germany, were second with a total of 90. The States were third with 94. And West Germany, West Germany were fourth with 39, a long way down to West Germany. And lots of goals were in there. The Soviet Union got 49, East Germany 40, the States 34, and West Germany got 10 golds. So what a games that was. Highlights were 14-year-old gymnast Nadia Komanec from Romania performed the perfect 10, scoring 10 seven times and winning three gold medals. Finland's Vlasty Biron repeated his 1972 wins by winning the 5,000 and 10,000 metres. And as Tim also mentioned earlier, Bruce Jenner of the USA, who is not Bruce Jenner anymore, won the decathlon setting a world record of 8,634 points. And one aside there is Alex Oakley, the Canadian race walker, became the oldest track and field athlete to compete at the Olympic Games. He was aged 50, he's quite young really, isn't he? And he was taking part in his fifth Olympic Games. So it was quite an Olympic Games. Looking at Britain's performances, Brendan Foster, the jewellery, secured Britain's only track and field medal when he came third in the 10,000 metres. But there was a success story in the swimming pool. David Wilkie won the 200-metre breaststroke gold to claim England's first men's swimming gold since Henry Taylor in 1908. I've gone to England. Did David Wilkie die? He did quite recently. Yeah. I think he was living in Canada or something. Yeah. Wilkie also came second in the 100-metre breaststroke. So that's your Olympic news. And the last sport I'm going to look at is, of course, the Formula One. The Formula One season of 1976 was a particularly successful one for England, or for Britain, with a certain driver with a really good second name coming first. And if I just look at the races that happened in July, which is the month that we're looking at, on the 4th of July, we had the French Grand Prix at the Paul Rippard circuit. That was won by James Hunt. And second was Patrick Tapalier, and he was driving a Tyrrell. And third was John Watson, another Brit, who sort of got more success a few years later. And he was driving a Penske car, which is not one of the more better-known cars. That was the French Grand Prix. And the following two weeks later was the 18th of July. And at Brands Hatch, we had the British Grand Prix. And that was won by Nicky Lauda in a Ferrari. And second was Jody Schechter in a Tyrrell. And third was John Watson again in his Penske. Just looking at the final positions for the Drivers' Championships, first we had James Hunt. James Hunt won the Formula One championship that season, if I remember rightly, in the last race of the season in Japan, where it absolutely tipped it down with rain. And his nearest challenger, who was Nicky Lauda from Austria, withdrew from the race or stopped racing, thought it was too dangerous. And of course, Nicky Lauda, as we may remember, did go on to have a horrendous accident as well. So obviously, health and safety was paramount in his mind. So I think James Hunt won the championship by winning that race, or by coming third in that race, and Nicky Lauda actually stopped racing. So second in the championship was Nicky Lauda. Interestingly, James Hunt got 69 points, Nicky Lauda got 68. If Nicky Lauda had carried on with that race and maybe finished above James Hunt, then he would have won. Third was Joey Schechter, a South African, on 49 points, driving the Tyrrell Ford. Fourth, Patrick Tapalier, who we've heard a lot about recently, 39 points, Tyrrell Ford. He was French. And the fifth racer was Claire Robisoni, who was a Swiss racer. He was 31 points, and he was from Ferrari. And just looking quickly at the points that were awarded, there were 16 races that season. First was 9 points, second was 6, third was 4 points, fourth was 3, fifth was 2, and sixth was 1 point. So the top six, no points. So well done to James Hunt. Sadly he's no longer with us, but he won the Formula One championship for Great Britain that year. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. We are going to cover TV and cinema extremely quickly, because I want to use the last 10 minutes to cover the top 10. So what were we watching at the cinema? Well, it was an X-rated movie back in the day. Emmanuel. Oh, right. I genuinely don't ever record it, and it probably is extremely tame now. It probably is. Joan Collins? No, that was the stud. It was Sylvia Crystal. Other films in the cinema chart back then, The Return of the Pink Panther, The Man Who Fell to Earth, the Barry one, The Sunshine Boys, which I can remember there's two American comedians whose names have gone completely out of my mind. The Slipper and the Rose, which was a take on Cinderella with Jemma Craven, and possibly Richard Chamberlain. But yeah, I don't think it's a stellar look of cinema time, but it was way too hot to be in the cinema anyway. And what were we watching on the TV? The Bionic Woman premiered. Lindsay Wagner? Lindsay Wagner. Can you remember what her bionic features were? No, I'm going to guess it was eyes? I should have done that. I should have researched it before. I got things hearing. It's funny, I always remember the bionic man as having only one leg bionic, but that can't possibly be right. That would have been crazy. So he obviously had both legs done. Hang on, run on that side. That's my boy on that side. I'll catch you. But no, I think she could jump as well. I'll maybe research that. I should have done that before. So the Bionic Woman premiered and the other big premieres of that month were Nobody Does It Like Marty. So the Marty was a lady called Marty Kane, who was a kind of like... You didn't really get too many female comedians around then. The world was extremely sexist place as Ger mentioned earlier on about the prize money for... The world has moved on, thankfully, from them, but yeah, Nobody Does It Like Marty and Scylla's world of comedy. The Scylla, I can only assume was Scylla Black. I can't think of any other Scyllas. And just a very quick run through of let's give a... There was only three channels back then. I think we reported last week that we were back in a world of three channels. So let's just look at ITV for a particular day. It started with Meet Betty Boop. Again, that would have been a story of its time. Certain Women at 11 o'clock. A Cartoon at 11.45. At 12 o'clock, The Adventures of Rupert Bear. Great, great theme tune. Always like the Rupert Bear theme tune. Sacky. Absolutely, another hit. What was the other hit? White Horses. Lovely little song, that one. Hickory House, 12.10. I can't remember the name. 12.30, Three Little Words. I don't know. 1 o'clock, First Report. That sounds like a news show. 13.20, so 1.20, Lunchtime Today. Again, sounds like some sort of magazine show. 1.30, Crank Court. Oh yeah. Which would have become like a dramatiser if it was just set in a court. Yeah, I don't remember watching it, but I remember knowing people who did. You know, grown-ups. At 2 o'clock, something called Good Afternoon, imaginatively. Midweek Racing at 2.30, which went on for two hours. At 4.25, Michael Bentine's Potty Time. Yeah. So Michael Bentine, he was from The Goons. Yeah. It was kind of funny, like a puppet show. Yeah, in The Kiddy Men. No, that was Ken Doll. It was about similar sort of things. At 4.50, Hogsback. Half hour, don't know it. 5.20, The Flintstones. And that, again, as we talked last week, Kids TV was very much back end of the afternoon, and that was it. And then we go into kind of grown-up shows. So you had the ITN News at 10 to 6. And again, obvious time, 6 o'clock, because I'm looking here at Thames TV, this was Miss Thames, 1976. So beauty shows were a big thing back then. But Miss Thames, Miss Thames, 1976, it was only on for half an hour, so there couldn't have been many of them. At 6.35, it was compulsive viewing in the Quick House, old Crossroads. We loved a bit of Crossroads. Always had to watch it, even on holiday. That was the one with Benny in it, wasn't it? It was, Benny and Miss Diane, yeah. Something at 7 o'clock called Don't Ask Me. No. Again, don't ask me, because I don't remember it. 7.30, Coronation Street, obviously still huge now. And at 8 o'clock, something called Summer Night Out. And I looked to see what Summer Night Out was. It was obviously some sort of variety show, and this, on that particular day, it was, so the person hosting was a guy called Tom O'Connor. Oh, yeah. A big 70s, 80s guy. Ended up kind of doing game shows, really. But on the cast of that were Georgie Fane, Tammy Jones, the Ladybirds, Roger DeCoursey, and Nookie Bear. It's on its time now. And it's called, and of course, The Lionel Blair Dancers. Of course. Of course, The Lionel Blair Dancers. So, there we go. Was that on Saturday? It was, yes. Yeah, because that would be the equivalent of Seaside Special on BBC One. Yes. Which I must admit, I did like that. Oh, yeah, no, it was just an entertaining show. So, we've got a few minutes to go, so let us do the top 20, which is our favourite subject. So, back to the 20, and we mentioned earlier on, it was a kind of a weird old chart of lots of kind of return songs. So, obviously, we've just talked about the Shangri-Las, the leader of the pack. At 20, we've got The Beatles on their way up back in the USSR. Yeah, it was a big Beatles re-release time, 76. I bought quite a few of those singles, not in 76, but three or four years later. And they were in a green sleeve. I've still got them now, and it was just a re-release campaign. I'm not sure why, but if you... Top of the Pops, I think, at the time, had quite a few Beatles performances on it. But, yeah, they had three, four, five singles back in the charts over 1976, I think. And then we've got at 19, the sensational Alex Harvey band with the Boston Tea Party. Yeah. They were a Scottish band, and they had a few hits here. Delilah, I think, the Tom Jones song was probably their biggest hit. Sadly, Alex Harvey no longer with us. But, yeah, Scottish rock band I would call them. They were on Top of the Pops. I remember Noel Edmonds introducing them on Top of the Pops. He was visiting our friend Tony Blackburn yesterday. Oh, was he? Okay. Noel was in New Zealand. Yeah, yeah. But no, he was over visiting. Sensational. Yeah, so they stole Tony Blackburn yesterday. At 18, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, Now is the Time. I presume it's, now is the time to get things right. That one. Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. Should we start that? I think we should do. That was a stellar performance there, and that was on its way up. But I think our version of it would do even better than Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. Yeah, it would. At 17, Don Williams, I recall a gypsy woman. Yeah. He was, country was very much dominated by a few, kind of like Billy Joe Spears, Zoe Parton, Glenn Campbell, and whatever. Don Williams was one of that kind of number. Two shar hits, I think. Yeah. This country. I'm trying to remember the other one. I recall Gypsy Woman. You're My Best Friend, that was the other one. Yeah, there you go. I think it was the same sort of era, 76. Yeah. Yeah, that was his. And he was, you know, he was obviously a great singer. Not a great looker. He looked like an old man, didn't he? I think he was more of a talkie. Yeah. I like my country, but Don Williams doesn't really. I like my Glenn Campbells and Dolly's and whatever, but Don Williams leaves me cold a little bit. On their way down at 16 was Our Kid, You Just Might See Me Cry. Yeah, I saw that on The Pops last week. For The Pops Friday Night on BBC One. And yeah, it was a band of kids, literally kids, literally kids. I think it was five of them. And the guy who, the kid who sang the lead vocal looked to be the youngest. And yeah, I don't really know much more about them. They had these outfits on and were doing the You Might See Me Cry actions. Yeah, it was always time, I think, for the best thing to say, really. Picture it. The Isley Brothers were on their way up with Harvest For The World, which kind of became a hit for, well, a band that we saw last year that you disliked intensely, but I quite liked, The Christians. Did they have a number one with that? Harvest For The World? I don't think so. Was it not a number one? But they had a hit with it. I'm not so keen on the guy's voice. That's the problem for me. Yes, yes. As you referenced a number of, several times, almost to the point where I thought, he's going to come down and punch you in a minute. Yeah. But yeah, you definitely didn't like them. In fact, you went to the live concert. I did. Yeah. So that was the Isley Brothers at 15. At 14 again on their way up was Hot Chocolate, Man To Man. Yeah, not one of their most memorable tracks. Obviously they had truckloads of hits around that time, but I can't picture Man To Man. As far as I'm aware, Hot Chocolate were the only band to have a hit single in the charts every year. And I think the two years were 1969, because they had a hit with Give Peace A Chance, the John Lennon song, through to 84. I can't remember what the 84 one was. It would possibly be Girl Crazy. I'm not sure what it was. But I think they had a hit single in the British charts every year from 1969 to 1984. And I'm not sure anyone's ever done that since. That wasn't one of their better known ones, to be fair. No. I guess You Sexy Thing is probably the one that they are most... Yeah, obviously they're based on you. Yeah. At 13, again on their way up, was David Dundas with Jeans On. That's got to be one hit wonder, hasn't it? Jeans On. I remember it well. Very catchy. Yeah. No, it's a catchy number. On their way down, we've mentioned Brian Ferry again, a bit over the last couple of weeks. Brian Ferry, I think we referenced Roxy Music last week. This was back in his solo time with Let's Stick Together. Yeah, it's a Brian Ferry classic. I think I have said previously, he balanced the solo career with the Roxy Music career in the early years. First solo album, I think, was 73. Roxy albums going out at the same time, so he was a very busy chap at that point. But Let's Stick Together was re-released, I think, in 89? Something like that. It's quite an iconic song. An iconic video, I think, with possibly one of his model wives at the time, maybe Geri Hall, I don't know, but it's been an iconic song for him over the years. And at 11, again, another song on its way up with Liverpool Express' You Are My Love. I know this song. Again, was it One Hit Wonder? I only know that song by Liverpool Express. They had a few hits. That was the biggest one. And it kind of went with that summer of 1976. And apparently Paul McCartney allegedly said that he wished he'd written that song. It's a nice trick. Again, let's not let the truth get out of the way. I'm sure he did say it. Absolutely. On their way down at number 10, The Real Thing, You To Me Are Everything. I think that's a great song. This is a crack in top 10, that starts off the top 10 brilliantly. It's just a fantastic song. Still play it a lot now. First number one. And to be followed by Can't Get By Without You, I think later in 1976, which also went in number one. Yeah, great tune. On their way down at number nine, Queen, You're My Best Friend. Again, what an iconic song. Yeah, from A Night At The Opera, which was the album that had the iconic Bohemian Rhapsody on it, which was released in November 1975. Things like Death On Two Legs on there, I think, and Sun's Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon. So yeah, just a great, great classic Queen album. Definitely. And then we've got, I'd almost say it's more famous for it having been kind of covered, but 100 Ton And A Feather is up to number eight here, with It Only Takes A Minute. Obviously, possibly more famous now for being the Take That cover. I don't, I can't, well, I do know this version, but it's kind of, I don't remember it being quite high. It keeps on changing as you do it, doesn't it? Compared to the Take That version, yeah. Up to number seven, we've got Tavares with Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel. Again, one of my late night guilty pleasures is Charlie's Angels films, and Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel features heavily in there, but it's just a great disco tune. Yeah, they had a few hits, didn't they, Tavares? Yeah, Tavares. And then we've got, again, on their way up, number six, Dorothy Moore with Misty Blue. Yeah. Misty Blue. Not too familiar with their eight books, but that was her biggest hit, I think. Yeah. On their way down, again, a classic of their time. Had a couple of hits, but this is probably the big one, Young Hearts Run Free by Candy Statton. If you don't know it, it's one of those, you do know it, you just simply don't recognise the title, but it's like, I will never get young hearts run free. That's on Broadway, I think, was her other biggest hit of any description. Although she did sing guest vocals on You've Got the Love by The Source. Yes. She's still around, yeah. On their way up were the Manhattans with Kiss and Say Goodbye. I know it more because it features Virtue Daily on the game that I play the song part of. But I don't really know the song, other than kind of, like I say, the fact that it regularly appears on the song I play. Down this week at number three was the guy we mentioned earlier on, Demis Roussos, with The Roussos Phenomenon. That was an EP which had the Forever and Ever track on it. Ah, right, okay. That was the lead track, Forever and Ever. That was number one. Oh, right, okay. Yes, again, he kind of was a phenomenon back then. Up to number two, Dr. Hook a little bit more. We mentioned them in the album chart, but it's just a great catchy song, and as you say, kind of a little bit folky, a little bit country. And at number one, it was still at, it had been number one the previous week, I don't know, I think it stayed at number one for a number of weeks, with Elton John and Kiki Dee with Don't Go Breaking My Heart, in their memories. He didn't have so much hair back then. I don't know what happened. It grew again. It grew again, yeah. But I remember the video, it was, yeah, it was just a catchy tune, wasn't it? Yeah, a great karaoke song. Yeah. His first number one as well. Oh, right. Okay, okay. He didn't have another one until Sacrifice. But he's done alright for himself, hasn't he? Oh, he's done alright. He's done alright. He needs another one. Absolutely. So that was the chart. I think, because one of your friends kind of sort of said, let's keep it a secret what year we're going to do next week. There you go, Steve. So we're going to keep it, all I will say is, I think we'll jump back to the 80s. Yeah. Yeah, we'll jump back to the 80s. But that's as much of a clue as you're going to get. We're going to be in the 80s because we've had a couple of weeks since the 70s. We'll be back in the 80s. How far into the 80s will we go? Absolutely. I don't know. I'm saying, I don't know, because I literally don't know. But we'll discuss it after we switch the recording off. So thank you very much, Mr. Jeremy. Let us simply say goodbye to people. And thank you for listening. Like I say, look after yourself. Be good to yourselves. Be good to other people. It's a world of general elections and elections happening in the States. Is it? Yeah, I believe so. I believe so. So yes, it's a strange world out there. But like I say, look after yourselves and everybody else. But it's goodbye from me. It's a goodbye from me. Bye-bye.
