Comments

• Best sessions of the year were broadcast in the first part of the show, and the combined numbers 30 to 26 of the yearly and all-time Festive Fifties in the second. Until recently, only the chart rundown was available. However from early February 2010, a new recording became available, including edited highlights of the session tracks and records portion of the show. Further file shares now mean that around 91 minutes of audio are now available.
• The fifth part of the combined 1982 Festive Fifties, identified in the track listing below by AT (All-Time chart) and FF (yearly chart).
