Not a politics related question but I am looking for the title of a 'talent show' type programme that used to be shown on CBBC in the 1980s at the time Phil Schofield used be the presenter in the broom cupboard. It featured tap dancers and was really cheesy. Phil Schofield really hated the programme and I remember him on one occasion miming being sick at the thought of the programme coming on one afternoon.
Does anyone remember this show and its title?

Does anyone remember this show and its title? I've had a cursory look through the BBC schedules for 1987 (the branding CBBC started in 1985) and luckily came across something quite quickly (Feb 11th 1987) which I think might fit the bill, a programme called "You should be so Lucky".
starring Vince Purity It's the Grand Finale! Who will win the fabulous Vinny Award? Competing in today's final are: Comedian Richard Smith from JACKIE PALMER STAGE SCHOOL Singer Natalie Powers from WALSALL ACADEMY Impressionist Lee Broom from BETTY FOX STAGE SCHOOL
Comedienne Leesa Cameron from SHANDY STAGE SCHOOL
Dancer Christopher Bailey from JANET DUPONT STAGE SCHOOL

Many thanks for the reply - It sounds a likely candidate although I cannot be sure as it doesnt seem as if any clips of the show exist on YouTube.

Do we have a general thread for this year's local elections? I was going to post my results spreadsheet from 2016.

I have sourced a copy of the "Candidates Expenses" from every GE since 1979 except for 1997. Does anybody know where i could get a copy?

I'd thought this would have been Googleable, but I was wrong. Does anyone know what the largest number of counts it has taken to get to a result in an Irish constituency?

The maximum possible number of rounds is one less than the number of candidates, so finding the largest number of candidates would be an approximation.

Is there a guide anywhere to the boundary changes in the third and fourth periodic reviews of Westminster constituencies? Wikipedia has a very nice list of which constituencies were created, abolished, had major changes, or minor changes for the first and second, and a respectable - but not very informative - one about the changes made in the fifth, but nothing at all about the third and fourth.

The Welsh Boundary Commission used to have the original reports for Wales on its website. Hopefully someone here will have downloaded copies.

A report on BBC News channel just now said that a couple can't get an annulment to their marriage because there was no marriage in the first place. Surely that's the whole point of an annulment? What have I missed or misunderstood?

What have I missed or misunderstood? My guess, having not seen the report, would be that the couple in question never had a legal marriage ceremony, so there's nothing to annul. The difference between that and an annulment would be that there was a legal marriage ceremony but that it was invalid, or that the marriage was never consummated.

I think this issue is that one of 'em was demanding a divorce settlement from the other one - which they can't get 'cos they were never married and concequently no divorce.

Which brings us full circle to our other thread - if you want legal protections, enter into a legal agreement. If you want to be protected from being deported from this county, become a citizen of this country. If you want a pound of flesh from a partner when a partnership breaks up, sign a partnership contract. If you want the assets of a dead person, ensure they make a will with you as beneficiary.
