Bill Kenwright leaves all his other hats at home and firmly places his rock 'n' roll trilby on his head, to present a show about the smash hits he grew up with in the 50s and 60s.

West End legend and musical maestro, Bill Kenwright serves up another feast of pop and rock 'n' roll from his Golden Years. This week Bill picks a favourite B-Side from Johnny Burnette, a 20 Second Number One from Cliff Richard and bestows a We Did It Better on the great Frankie Vaughan. There's also fantastic tunes from Jimmie Rodgers, Jerry Keller and Carole King. Plus more tales from the Alleycat.

And tune in to find out why Bill couldn't bear to listen to Bobby Vee's 'Please Don't Ask About Barbara' and why Tommy Roe's 'Sheila' saved his band from embarrassment.
