Alan Britton in the Star Wars Vault 💉💉🚀

As I usually do a selection of tweets of my Dad's favourite songs for what would be his birthday today, but they get split up over my timeline, this year, I have decided to put them all in their own #DadsPlaylist thread. So here goes...

The 4th Semi Final of #BritainsGotTalent will air at the earlier time of 6-8pm on Saturday 16th May. The Eurovision Song Contest starts at 8pm on BBC One.

@TheMekon_Venus Was demonstrated here by Steve Wilson on Phillip Schofield's 24 Hour TV Marathon for Text Santa: youtu.be/98TDgdpnl5g?si…

This toaster designed specifically for hot dogs and buns (with slots for both and mini tongs included). Amazon have em for about £50. Does anyone eat enough hotdogs to warrant such a machine? Do you even want to toast hot dog buns?

This is Quadrophenia! #TOTP #TOTP1991 #TOTP91 ⌚️

Would you accept a cassette from THIS lot? @WeAreDeLaSoul 🌼 #NameAndNumber ☎️ #TOTP #TOTP1991 #TOTP91 #CheckItOut

Well, the DJ set's arrived... 💿🎙️ #PatAndMick @PatSharp @DJMickBrown #LetsAllChant 📢 #TOTP #TOTP1988 #TOTP88 #OoohOooh

Happy birthday to Bill Plympton. He turned 80 and is known for his animation shorts like 'Your Face' from the 1980s.

@80sNostalgia Reminds me of the time when I found four out of the five DVDs of the show at Cash Converters for 10p a shot! 📀📀📀📀 Got the final DVD from eBay for just under a fiver too! So proud of that achievement! 😁

Happy National Willy Fog Day! Remember the theme tune? Just sing the first line. Go on. Or a tiny bit from the chorus… Great! Now you’ll be singing it all day. You’re welcome. #WillyFogDay #NationalWillyFogDay

@DrB2you This was the same Chesterfield by-election (in March 1984) that Walter George Williams, commonly known as actor Bill Maynard (Oh No It's Selwyn Froggit/The Gaffer/Heartbeat) ended up fourth with 1,355 votes, who opposed Tony Benn's candidacy. Benn won with 24,633 votes. 🗳️

How did Moira Stuart keep a straight face on this? 😝😝❤️ Chesterfield by-election. George Orwell year. Who's your favourite? Soft spot for Giancarlo? #BAFTA

@AnnekaRice Was it a Challenge getting to sleep with Dave in the bed with you? 🛌🎙️

Simpler times. Always important to have a film crew handy when you wake up so you can just press on …

@WebDesignMuseum Electronic duo @TheCubanBoys used the "Whistle Stop" sample from this website in their December 1999 #4 hit, "Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia" ("C vs I"), which they performed for #TOTP's Christmas show for 1999. #GoodNightKids 🐹💿 youtube.com/watch?v=q-reKp…

The Hampster Dance website in 1999 This website was one of the earliest examples of an Internet meme and it was created by Deidre LaCarte in 1998. #InternetHistory

@For_Film_Fans This is an early Green Cross Code film (which explains the bad quality of the film) which probably explains why they had to dub Prowse's Westcountry accent! AND the robot only had three words in the script! #ASafePlaceAwayFromPahrkedCahrs 🚗🚗🚗🚗 youtube.com/watch?v=CLeK1L…

A pre-Star Wars Road Safety commercial with ‘Darth Vader’ himself - DAVID PROWSE. (His West Country burr wasn’t considered quite right, so he was dubbed)

Some of the titles tackled on #GiveUsAClue this week on @TalkingPicsTV. Lionel's and Una's were got surprisingly quickly, but Spike Milligan had trouble with Parky for his! As for Jon Inman's title, I suppose he had it coming!

And I'd like that in triplicate, please... 📄 📄📄#AdventuresOfStevieV #DirtyCash 💰 #TOTP #TOTP1990 #TOTP90

I think it's perfectly apparent who's performing now... @Adamski #Killer 🗡️ #TOTP #TOTP1990 #TOTP90 @Seal #SolitaryBrother (which I thought was "sorry to be brother"!)

Hoddle and Waddle with a whole lot of bottle! 🍾⚽️ #GlenHoddle #ChrisWaddle #DiamondLights 💎💡 #TOTP #TOTP1987 #TOTP87

Not quite the collaboration you'd first think of... @KimWilde @JuniorGiscombe #AnotherStep #CloserToYou #TOTP #TOTP1987 #TOTP87

An extra present from Braintree Town Council: two more recycling bins for June! Red for paper and cardboard and blue for cans, bottles, foil and everything else recyclable! A little extra work on Tuesdays but hopefully it'll be beneficial! 🗑️🍾🥫🥡📦📰📄
