FULL DETAILS - THU 3 JULY 1986

- The audio starts just after a record Walk On The Wild Side by Gerty Molzen. This appalling record was "just a taste of what is to come tonight" as it was James's last show before his 2 week holiday and so is playing a load of terrible records.  He mentions that it is also the welcome return of Rita Roe's theatrical spot.  He then went on to play Milligan & Nesbitt and "one of their timeless numbers" but didn't confirm which.
- Then there was a break and James misguidedly introduced some current affairs to discuss
- Then it was The Birdie Song by Foster & Allen.  James then announced a caller coming next after the break.  After the break there was a clip from James Bond for no apparent reason
- Paul Williamson in Prestwich wanted to talk about a theory of what came first, the chicken and egg -  he also introduced James to the William Hulme Jim Reeve League Table

- After the news James then describes the previous record as being "You're My Son" by Kenny Rogered (another clip from this part is available with some of the song on it).
