📺 'Dad's Army' Friday 27 October 1972 - BBC1: 20:30 Time for some Croft/Perry pathos and a rare moment away from the levity which deployed the troops true acting muscles. All the great comedies can make you laugh the majority of the time and also cry some of the time. And I dare say this scene also contains the only time you'll ever hear the word "blatherskite". #DadsArmy | Bernie Briffa

📺 'The Two Ronnies' Saturday 14 October 1972 - BBC1: 19:35 Lynsey de Paul ~ Storm In a Teacup 'Storm In a Teacup' was co-written by Lynsey, but handed over to The Fortunes who had enjoyed a #7 hit with it in the January. Lynsey recorded her own version of the song as the B-side to her first single "Sugar Me", which she co-wrote as she did many of her songs, with Barry Blue. #lynseydepaul | Bernie Briffa
