Dad's Army in the 'mystery year' 1968 

BBC Radio Suffolk - Nick Risby, Dad's Army in the 'mystery year' 1968Search BBC

Our 'fab 5' includes Abba and Eagles, there's Robbie's riddle and the usual great music.

In our 'mystery year' of 1968 ‘Dad’s Army’ hit our screens for its very first series, but which character was famed for the phrase ‘We’re doomed’?

TV theme tune is; Flying Doctor.

Can you work out Robbie's riddle tonight?
Ranch hand Risby the cowboy boasted that after taking his stetson from his head, he could hang it up, walk half a mile, fire only one bullet from his pistol and he would hit his stetson every time. How did he manage that?

On this day in 1900 the term "orienteering" was first used for an event. So our 'tenuous tunes' are linked to 'walking' songs.
