'There's a man on one!'

Sean explains why he used to say 'there's a man on one!' on the Gerry Anderson Show.

"I remember when Gerry Anderson informed the nation that he was going to have a hair enhancement," says Ron in Belfast, "and you, Sean, were giving out to him!"

"I was actually hoping he was going to get the hair enhancement," Sean says, "because I wanted him to look like Ken Dodd. I really did! He had this rule that I wasn't to tell him who rang in, and anyone who called I just said, 'There's a man on one'. And I didn't tell him anything about the person."

Meanwhile Raymond in Strabane is still waiting for Danny Boy performed by The Pan Pipes.

"Ah," says Sean. "You asked for it yesterday. The request I got was, 'Can you play Danny Boy on the bagpipes.' I thought it was a direct question to me. It's all becoming clear now."

With music from Christie, Neil Diamond, Roy Orbison, and more.
