One of our somewhat feeble claims to fame is being on the same ferry as her from Athens to Aegina when she was suffering a bit (well a lot) from sea sickness. He replied reminding me that she was the 1st winner on that wonderful gameshow 3-2-1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Very sad news about Janice Long, reunited with her brother Cheggers. Despite looking (with respect) like an ordinary gal, she became a very prominent figure in female music broadcasting and great credit to her for that. And as has been already stated, only 66?, no age. RIP Janice. xx Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?"

unapologetic pedant Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Janice Long`s Radio 1 weekday evening show was essential listening in the mid-80s. Along with the music and related guests, there was a magazine flavour with items on social topics and John Walters` music press review. All of which struck the perfect balance between Daytime and Peel. Off the top of my head, these are 10 records that in my mind are forever associated with the Janice Long Show - Killing Joke - Love like blood The Cult - She sells sanctuary The Cure - In between days Husker Du - Sorry somehow The Smiths - Panic It`s Immaterial - Driving away from home P.I.L. - Home Weather Prophets - Almost prayed Siouxsie and the Banshees - Candyman Julian Cope - World shut your mouth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't disagree with that. I used to listen to her show a lot with my girlfriend at the time, 8-10 before John Peel IIRC. A couple more tracks I always associate with her show were Bronski Beat 'Smalltown Boy' which obviously became a big hit but she played it well before that. Another is more obscure but is Red Guitars 'Good Technology' who I *think* were from Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 RIP John Madden 2 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Ian McNabb, formerly of the Icicle Works, has written some fantastic tributes to her, in contrast to Morrissey's effort. I know our own John Drake is a massive fan of Ian, whose words about Janice Long have been so beautiful. She was a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graveyard johnny Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 not a big fan of american comedy but the golden girls was as close to british comedy as they got - great cast- good scripts - fantastic timing between the characters all cushioned by the great sense of desperation written in to the backbone of the finest british comedies 1 did the bloke who invented the phrase "one hit wonder" invent anything else?
