 * Comments
 * First of five shows featuring the 1980 Festive Fifty.
 * Only the Festive Fifty rundown is currently available.
 * "listeners in the month of November were invited to send in a list of their three favourite tracks ever and I was going to... in order, y'know, whether they be album tracks or singles, and I have worked these into an attractive chart to be broadcast between now and, well, Tuesday week, tomorrow week. And it's difficult to say, actually, because I never count the cards to be honest, but I suppose that probably something of the order of 6 or 7000 people bothered to write in"
