This weekend's multiple anniversary commemorations have already got off to a sparkling start with an edition of Friday Night Is Music Night featuring a medley of Radio 2 "themes", a singalong version of 'MacArthur Park' and Joe Brown cracking jokes about Ken Bruce.
Unfortunately there was no evidence of a mooted (at least by TV Cream) appearance by the Radio 2 Players; indeed, there doesn't look like being any collective tribute, not even a special pantomime, during the whole celebrations.

6) Ed Stewart in a rare shot reaching for his wallet:
7) John Dunn is informed he no longer has to share a locker with Steve Wright:
