Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they celebrate the 50th anniversary of the world’s first popular video game: Pong. The game, based on table tennis where players hit a 2D ball across the screen with paddles, was released by Atari on 29th November 1972. To mark the occasion, Mark and Stuart play some of their favourite video game related tunes. 

There’s also a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs… And there’s a chance for you to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
