This week, in addition to all our regular feature,s we highlighted how and why we used to dance here in Tudor time, courtesy of the Renaissance Footnotes dancers and the Passamezzo singers, both from the recent open days at Fort Cumberland.

We also heard how a local World War II minesweeping veteran Bill Sheppard faced other dangers from a life he also spent on our local dance floors!

Peter Keat told of the Portsmouth railway station in Gosport, and PCC Parks & Gardens Technical Officer Roger Young continued the history of our local public gardens and parks.

Finally, Dave Barber took us back with his acute memory to the Majestic cinema, of which the old building still stands today at Kingston Road, as a Judo club and a Snooker hall.

Sonja Power, Lord Mayor Councillor Terry Hall and DJ Pete Cross added their own contributions to our recent spotlighting of the grand new book The Tricorn - The Life and Death of a 60s Icon.

Three times winner of the History Show Quiz trophy Larry Nicholas bemoaned the loss of the Southsea floral clock and other seafront attractions he once enjoyed, and of course there were also all our other regular weekly features!

This was the first edition of this show in which your faithful presenter nearly nodded off to sleep on air, due to a recent bout of sleep deprivation!

Of course this week we had our usual features like our popular local history quiz and Janice's weekly report on the World War II air raids last week as they were 68 years ago back in 1941.

We had Mike Orton's regular selection of a 'Greats From The States' - 1950s hit from the other side of the Pond (Matchbox by Carl Perkins this week), but we were also especially focussing on the subject of a great new local publication hot off the presses, all about that thing you probably either loved or loathed.

Can you guess what I'm talking about? Yes - the Tricorn!
