The core of tonight's show...
It's fruit tonight. I had planned to celebrate by bringing in some of Nigella's lemon and raspberry muffins but they hadn't cooled down enough by the time I left for work.
I cycle in every day so there was no chance of them making it to the office in one piece. I suppose the people who design those rufty tufty cycle courier bags don't worry about transporting fragile muffins to work.
There's been a brilliant response already to the theme. Our fruit bowl is overflowing with good suggestions and plenty of puns. Martin from Drybridge, Buckie, Tommy G in Denny, Fergie in Aberdeen, Greg in Aberdeen, Isabel in Edinburgh and Hugh from Glasgow get the ball rolling with these...
Rod Stewart - Raisin To Believe
Gerry & the Pacemakers - Cherry Cross The Mersey
Martha & the Muffins - Echo Peach
Sandy Nelson - Let There Be Plums
Alphaville - Fig In Japan
Waterboys - The Whole Of The Prune
Elvis: Ready Teddy (opening lyric "Ready, set, go mango")
Cherry Lee Lewis - Grape Balls of Fire
Sterophonics - Guava Nice Day
John Meloncamp - Jack and Diane
Sundae Girl - Blondie

Since we discovered yesterday that bananas (allegedly) are herbs and not fruits, what about Herbs for a theme:
"FENNEL I See You Again?" - The 3 Degrees, "Funny How THYME Slips Away" - Willie Nelson, tracks by Bob DILLan, ROSEMARY Clooney, BAY City Rollers, Lyle LOVAGE? Bound to be a good theme for puns.
