Apparently, after the Beeb decided not to continue with the Festive 50 this year Dandelion Radio (er, who?) have taken it upon themselves to do it this year.

Er, but won't be announcing it till February.

Which is hardly 'festive', now is it?

Still within the 12 days of chrimbo aint it?

Anyway, didn't JP typically do it twixed Xmas and New Year?

And pooh to the beeb for bailing on it. And after me paying me TV license with a smile today "it's OK, they're not wasting it all any more, now that the Doc is back"...PAH!

Yeah, true, but his previous label was Dandelion (in the 60's/70's) - whether it's the same Dandelion, I dn't know? :)
