Not forgetting The Final Chapter Extra

I had a NOW score in a charity shop today, 4 cassettes for £1 NOWs 2,5,10 and 13

A few odd tracks on there for a party album like the theme to Black Beauty.

LPs back at Smiths VINYL records are returning to WHSMith stores after more than 30 years. The chain plans to stock discs in 80 high street stores as it looks to capitalise on the format's popularity among a new gerneration of music fans. Sales hit nearly six million in 2023, rising for the 16th year running. WHSmith said: "We are very excited to be bringing back record selections for seasoned fans and new listeners."

Mine just got dispatched

I think at least one time they didn't post them up at the same time so maybe still to come.

Absolutely shocked at this. R.I.P. Liam :(

Just had an je-mail from HMV about Friday's 12" 80s release. "Due to a delay in receiving stock from our suppliers we have been unable to dispatch this in time for its original release date" My orders are dispatched from HMV Vault in Birmingham.

Final episode to air on 14th November https://metro.co.uk/2024/10/11/date-beloved...-soon-21780170/

Yes indeed it was. Just checked. I think had there been 3 NOWs in 1987 then it may have made it then.

I wonder of Crowded House and Milli Vanilli will appear on NOW 119. Don't Dream It's Over was never on a NOW album but Girl I'm Gonna Miss You appeared on NOW 16.

8th October marked 10 years since the final appearance of Deirdre Barlow. Anne Kirkbride sadly passed away in January 2015. DknpN3Teopg

WOW tonight's episode was awesome. Been pretty good this week with David Wicks back for a week and THAT CAMEO at the end of tonight's episode!

Never realised this was on, there doesn't seem to be any media exposure this time. For time hearing about was DJEMedia's video live from the scene LgsAMcmYnVw

Well i watched Thursday's show on iplayer (the app on my TV version not the virginmedia one which is always slow) Great ending!

I like the new single, enjoyed seeing her on the Graham Norton show which what used to be the TOTP studio in 1988/89 as mentioned when they showed the Buffalo Stance clip.

Well it was too late for virginmedia to update so tivo hasn't recorded tonight's episode. Silly BBC cancelling it in the first place than uncancelling it, messing up people's series links. Should have just left it on Thursday, sod the Boris interview they could have shown that another time.

Just announced on The Fizz official socials that two new members are joining following Mike's exit. Matthew Pateman (Bad Boys Inc/Let Loose) and Nikk (Phixx) https://x.com/thefizzcmj/status/1841835365201575978
