Desmond sorts through his personal record collection of some 250,000 titles for songs and music related to the theme "sweet 'n' low".

Desmond shares good tunes, some unexpected ones and a few you may never have heard before.

This week he sorts through his personal record collection of some 250,000 titles for songs and music related to the theme "sweet 'n' low".

It's a nod to the London review of the 1940s starring Hermione Gingold; and Sir Joseph Barnby's 1983 song, rather than the artificial sweetener of the same name!
