Jeux Sans Frontières

So, I was in Starbucks earlier, and the Peter Gabriel song "Games Without Frontiers" came up on their playlist. As you do with songs you know, I started mentally singing along with it.

And then realised that in a few moments was going to be the line "It's A Knockout". Hmmm, nice topical reference there

Noel Edmonds and Keith Chegwin?

I hope we're left with at least a few people we can still look back on fondly!

I am very very much hoping that both Johnny Ball and Johnny Morris do not turn out to have been abusers. That really would shatter the remains of my childhood.

Gosh, yes. Jimmy Saville didn't surprise anyone. Stuart Hall, yeah that's not a shock really. But either of those two and I'd be utterly devastated.

Or Tony Hart.

I was just thinking him.

Oddly I was listening to it en route to Hockenheim today and thought much the same things.
