Great music, chat and The Smiths' debut album at 39

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast, and celebrate the all-important 39th anniversary of The Smiths' debut album.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie - the colossal mullets of 6 Music - present a feast of great tunes and chat for weekend breakfast.

There's a finely balanced blend of new and old music, with tracks from artists including TLC, Weyes Blood, The Slits, Christine and the Queens, First Aid Kit, Gorillaz, Greentea Peng, Iggy Pop and Sebastien Tellier. There's chat about, among other things, the hairdos of 1980s Coventry band King. Plus, today they eschew round number anniversaries and celebrate the all-important 39th anniversary of The Smiths' debut album.

With a host of quality radio items, including The Chain - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs - and Crisps On The Radio, where Mark and Stuart sample potato-based snacks live on air. There’s also the chance to take part in Tea Time Theme Time, guessing the link between three top tunes.
