Steve Binnie (2026 Remaster)

Bluesky a band Frankie Goes To Hollywood, must be nice, some of us can't afford a holiday

Not gonna lie, it's not a great chart, but we've made the best of it and there's some interesting stuff on the show, particularly down the bottom end of the chart, so don't be late! 9pm on noiseboxradio.com and bring a gherkin.

"All we've eaten for the last four bleeding weeks is gherkin soup, roast gherkin, steamed gherkin, braised gherkin in gherkin sauce, gherkin in the basket with sautéed gherkin, gherkin meringue pie, gherkin sorbet... we sit on gherkins, we sleep in gherkins, we even wear the bloody things!"

You know who probably does know about PHP

"BBC motoring correspondent Bill Pants said he'd never heard of wheels until this morning - 'They're just something we take for granted'"

Some very odd things on this week's show, and I don't just mean the presenters.

Alexei Sayle's Stuff (20th October 1988). "Well, we apologise for the absence of Alexei Sayle in this week's edition of Alexei Sayle's Stuff. We're attempting to right the problem, but in the meantime the programme will continue in Leslie Crowther only".

This is a terrible idea, unless you can watch them all at the same time and there are bits where they join up, otherwise no.

I always looked back on 1984 as a great year for pop music... until now! Join me and @babel17.bsky.social for a trawl through something of a fallow period for the UK singles chart in October 1984. 9pm on @noiseboxradio.com which you can listen to in loads of places, see noiseboxradio.com for details

David Bowie, because he had "funny eyes". Also Elvis Costello, because how dare he take Elvis Presley's name in vain?

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Might just set up a scheduled post to say "FUCKS SAKE SCOTLAND" every time we play football, it'll save time.

Okay, picture uploads aren't working apparently, but do be sure to tune in to Off The Chart at 9pm when you'll wish audio uploads weren't working either. offthechart.show/6-october-1989/

Was this written by AI? It's absolute nonsense.

Not sure I like the sound of UEFA's latest money spinning idea. #MKDvSCO

The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

Hoping to get through this week's show without any of the disasters that happened last week, wish me luck...

Really sorry to hear this, he was indeed an STV legend.

INSTEAD WE ARE GOING TO POINT OUT VERIFIABLE HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT THE KHANATE CULTURES AND THEIR ENCOUNTERS WITH THIRD GENDERS. BUCKLE THE FUCK UP JOANNE WIZARD SCHOOL IS IN SESSION AND YOU ARE LATE FOR A POTIONS CLASS.

Wow, it's almost as if she has no idea what she's talking about. Again.

Yes, it's been a fun weekend of editing at Off The Chart Heights, the music is all fine (well, audio quality wise, the music itself is variable as always) but some of the later links are a bit... iffy. Hope it doesn't spoil your "enjoyment" of the show too much. Join us at 9 and find out!

Absolutely brilliant question in the final round on Pointless today

Wrote something about SNL:UK and what I learned by going to see it being made… joelmorris.substack.com/p/live-from-...

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Ridicule is nothing to be scared of, good thing too because it's me and @babel17.bsky.social doing that '80s thing again at 9pm on @noiseboxradio.com! Join us, it's not like there's anything else on.

I heartily recommend this product or service: The Complete Goodies Recordings (and Other Oddieties) CD Set by Richard Moore on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/min...

"So the puppets are called Muppets?" "Yes." "And they're putting on a show?" "Yes." "And it's called the Muppet Show?" "Yes." "Because it's a show, with Muppets?" "Yes." "But the show itself is the Muppet Show, but it's also a show in the Muppet Theatre, with Muppets?" "Yes." "....I don't get it."
