BBC Radio 2 - Paul O'Grady, 16/09/2012

Paul returns and reveals that Julio Iglesias speaks with a Sheffield accent... honestly.

Paul plays All-Star Triples from Texas and Marvin Gaye, dredges up Wagon Train as the Lost TV Theme, and encourages the nation to say Thank You.

This week Paul told us that Julio Iglesias speaks with a Sheffield accent, revealed he would swap his beauty to be able to play the mouth organ like Larry Adler, had a rant about recycling bins and played something new by The Goddess - that's Barbra Streisand to you and me.

This week's All-Star Triples came courtesy of Marvin Gaye and Texas. The Lost TV Theme was from the 1957 American Western series Wagon Train and the Mystery Year was 1963, when TV audiences met the Daleks for the first time, and was also the year Alma Cogan recorded the classic Fly Me To The Moon.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.

Radio 2: Amazing music. Played by an amazing line-up. The home of great music, entertainment and documentaries
