On Nov 20th, 1975, ‘Trail Of The Lonesome Pine' by Laurel & Hardy entered the UK singles chart at No.35. The song made it to number 2, but was held off the number 1 spot by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

A great Conference 2 day for my #NPQH with @Ambition_Inst in Coventry
Lots to think about, research & tools to consider and great discussions about assumptions, bias, when to act and when to slow down.
Thanks @MrNickHart @head_teach @simbar3 #ambitionNPQ

The BBC is 100 years old today. Back in the day when they were on their game, the BBC give us three iconic programmes with three iconic opening tunes.
Sit back and enjoy Sportsnight, Grandstand and Match Of The Day.
Memories of the BBC in their pomp!
