And to start with, here's Roman Holliday and Motor Mania.

# Zodiac, Cadillac, I'm a motor maniac

# Zodiac, Cadillac, I'm a motor maniac...

# I've got a motor

# And it just won't start

# Just like a pretty girl

# It'll break your heart

# I'll take you out to see on Saturday night

# Do, do, do, do, do-n-do, do!

# Do, do, do, do, do-n-do, do!

# Do, do, do, do, do-n-do, do!

# Zodiac, Cadillac, I'm a motor maniac

# Well, now on Friday night

# I bought a tow rope

# And a brand-new set of plugs

# Set up my strobe...

# But I couldn't get that car back on the road

# On the road!

# I couldn't get that car back on the road...

INSTRUMENTAL

# Zodiac, Cadillac, I'm a motor maniac

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

WHISTLING

Roman Holliday, Motor Mania.

And that's on their new LP, it's called Cooking On The Route.

And I tell you what, that band have got a long way to go

and they're going to do it just nicely.

Here's one of the best videos of the year.

APPLAUSE

# You've been around for such a long time now

# Oh maybe I could leave you but I don't know how

# And why should I be lonely every night

# When I can be with you?

# Oh, yes, you make it right

# And I don't listen to the guys who say

# That you're bad for me and I should turn you away

# Cos they don't know about us

# And they've never heard of love

# I get a feeling when I look at you

# Wherever you go now I want to be there too

# They say we're crazy but I just don't care

# And if they keep on talking still they get nowhere

# So I don't mind if they don't understand

# When I look at you

# And you hold my hand

# Cos they don't know about us

# And they've never heard of love

# Do, do, do...

# Why should it matter to us if they don't approve?

# Do, do, do...

# We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose...

# Lose!

INSTRUMENTAL

# Baby!

# There's no need for living in the past

# Now I've found good loving, going to make it last

# I tell the others, don't bother me

# Cos when they look at you they don't see what I see

# No, I don't listen to their wasted lines

# Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs

# Cos they don't know about us

# And they've never heard of love

# No, I don't listen to their wasted lines

# Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs

# Cause they don't know 'bout us

# They've never heard of love. #

That's Dear Prudence at number three.

Here's a great artist, a fine singer -

this is George Benson.

He's number seven this week - In Your Eyes.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I think I finally know you

# I can see beyond your smile

# I think that I can show you

# That what we have is still worthwhile

# Don't you know that love's just like the thread

# That keeps unravelling but then

# It ties us back together in the end

# In your eyes

# I can see my dreams' reflections

# In your eyes

# Found the answers to my questions

# In your eyes

# I can see the reasons why our love's alive

# In your eyes

# We're drifting safely back to shore

# And I think I've finally learned to love you more

# You warned me that life changes

# That no-one really knows

# Whether time would make us strangers

# Or whether time would make us grow

# Even though the winds of time will change

# In a world where nothing stays the same

# Through it all our love will still remain

# In your eyes

# I can see my dreams' reflections

# In your eyes

# Found the answers to my questions

# In your eyes

# I can see the reasons why our love's alive

# In your eyes

# We're drifting safely back to shore

# And I think I've finally learned to love you more

# In your eyes

# I can see the reasons why our love's alive

# You and I

# We're drifting safely back to shore

# I think I've finally learned to love you more

# Doo, doo, doo, doo

Andy Peebles and Janice Long will be here. We're going now.

We'll leave you with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

See you soon. Goodnight. Bye-bye.

The East End girl who became the nation's favourite.

Barbara Windsor.

We don't know what it is, but she definitely has... Something.

Walking away again, Dad?

From stage to screen and into our hearts.

The making of a star.
