It sounds like a Monsignor Treeb Lopez bit that didn’t quite work well enough for the final broadcast

The late Kevin Lloyd, formerly of The Bill, who missed a trick by titling it β€˜The Man Who Loved Too Much’ and not β€˜A Load Of Old Tosh’

To a degree, but I’d say the theme to Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads shades it for the whole β€˜where did it all go wrong, maybe the answer’s at the bottom of this bottle’ vibe

A few Leyland-DABs came the other way too - Sheffield had two batches of bendy buses, one in the mid 70s and a later batch in the 1990s that ran the service between the city centre and Meadowhall

Portrait of Soft Machine keyboard player, Mike Ratledge

Soft Machine co-founder Mike Ratledge has passed away today. He had such a distinctive and inventive voice as a soloist. I count myself lucky to have seen him play several times. A brilliant composer, he was also cool as fuck.
