An American soul song became an unlikely a cappella classic for The Housemartins. Originally recorded by Isley-Jasper-Isley, “Caravan of Love” was completely stripped of instrumentation for the Hull band’s 1986 version, putting their vocal harmonies at the centre. The single went on to become The Housemartins’ only UK No. 1. Performing it on The Tube in 1986, the band showcased a very different side from their usual jangly guitar pop.
With BBC One unveiling their Christmas ident, I thought I'd upload my short montage of every BBC One Christmas ident since 1974.
Enjoy 50 years worth of idents, and memories!🎄🎅☃️

30 years ago a diner was hauled from a Chinese restaurant and delivered a monologue so memorable it became a meme. Today that man was finally able to finish his succulent meal alongside one of the officers involved in his arrest | @PipSheehan
