Hello dear listener. Here we are in a new month and the start of summer, I’m playing you some hot tunes from years gone by. Our ‘Retro Rewind’ this week takes us back to 1979 and the ‘Winter of Discontent’. Not all was bad though because we had a brand new TV series about wartime bomb disposal on our screens. Danger UXB starred Anthony Andrews, and co-starred Kenneth Cranham who is my guest today.
Enjoy!
