Jeremy Paxman took over UC since BG's days and does a far
better job - and the header phrase is still used.

That archaeologist soundman's back in circulation after
many weeks, someone dug up but he cleaned up a nice one.
Such combo and disc quality (but the piano sounded about 6
feet off mike). Was Nat Gonella on it possibly?
Sob! You faded out the very last note!
Bugger trying to pinpoint his name, or the New Bond Str
desres - might have been a hotel!
I've just heard a very good syncopated band. They loved
that word in those days.
Psst! You must not say *golliwog* anymore, only *golly*.
