Edition two, from the week when Private Eye marked its 1000th edition by being resolutely unfunny.
BBC2 promised new shows like "Home Front In The Garden", they pledged a successor series to the Two Fat Ladies, and they're giving Anne Robinson a daytime quiz.
A very Bad Friday in Wakefield, where the local council banned dancing because it offended their religion.
A very Good Friday for the rest of us, as Jayne Middlemiss returns to host #TOTP.

"The facts of life" - Black Box Recorder Good song on Good Friday shocker! Sara Nixey is on vocals, with Luke Haines from The Auteurs, and John Moore from The Jesus & Mary Chain on guitars. Luke's always made unsettling music: sweet sounds coupled to perverse or violent lyrics. Here, a cut-glass voice trills over an Air-esque backing track, and sing-speaks about adolescent sexual awakenings. It's like an anglophone version of Serge Gainsbourg. Loved by Mark Radcliffe, and a bit of a lost classic. #TOTP #BlackBoxRecorder
