Stuart Maconie presents solo, with a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today he celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Blue Nile’s debut album ‘A Walk Across The Rooftops.’ The Glasgow band’s critically acclaimed album was originally released on 30th April 1984.

Also on the show… a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.
