It is the centenary today of the birth of one of the greats of the genre known as "light music", Mr Alyn Ainsworth. Conductor and arranger with the BBC Northern Dance Orchestra for many years, he conducted at the Royal Command Performance three times, and the orchestra for the Eurovision Song Contest on five occasions, as well as contributing the music to a whole load of light entertainment shows with the likes of Cilla Black and Lena Zavaroni.
And here he is to provide today's "musical interlude", in the all-smoking, all-cardigans, hi-tech world of the BBC!
How many "celebrities" did you spot, dear reader? Tee Hee.
