Despite the raid last week the gang are back.

Bob announces a Thameside party on Friday 9th October at the Shepherd's Bush Village Hall just down the road from the BBC (it was absolute mayhem). The charts and new releases will be returning  and Sarah will be on as a regular feature.  Mark interviews  "Little Roosters" who were playing the Greyhound in Fulham Palace Road  as well as having jogged round Hyde Park in aid of the Stoke Mandeville Appeal.

There's a demo tape from Thor (Ian Anderson, Rob Barry, Martin Weaver)

The Intrepid Birdman Appreciation Society are going to have a pub crawl, Dave plays a tape by The Wrong Direction called called Ring Product. He also has some news flashes sent in by listeners and sends up a dog food commercial. Still no-one wants to listen to The Beatles' story. He finishes with a medley from the Portsmouth Symphonia - which is absolutely unspeakably brilliant.

The next fast food survey comes from from Harrow on the Hill.   

New listeners to Thameside Radio  90.2 who get a mention include  Biddy, Mike Jones and Peter Miller, Mark Bramley of Bromley, Malcolm Friar (who missed the Circle Line picnic), group S25 in Chalfont County Secondary School, the CBers in The Pilot in Hanworth, Peter King, Stephen Garstang and Susan Grange

A live show but there are technical problems so for the first 20 minutes there was a mixture of different music plus interference (edited out). As that gets sorted  Dave makes occasional announcements until Bob arrives to start his show.

Bob introduces listenerss ideas for feeding "Tass" the Thameside cat. There's a demo tape from One Track Mind playing "Your Mother Doesn't Love You".

At 8:00 Sarah has a 30 minute show absolutely packed with dedications. She also has Mark interviewing Dolly Mixture who played the Greyhound in Fulham. Lola Payola and The Schoolgirl Song gets played (again).

Alex who plays highlights from the Circle Line Picnic where about 100 listeners took over a whole carriage.

Dave has a civil service memo about not having keys attached to your belt as it's safety risk. Then as if the technical problems at the start weren't enough fifteen minutes into Dave's show begins the broadcast stops. Thameside Radio was raided by the DTI.

More Thameside Radio 90.2 listeners getting mentions: Rob Leighton, Angus Dee, Mick Merry, Dolly Mixture, Ian Hobbs, Jim O'Reily of The Runes, John Hensley, Dave Booth, Adrian of One Track Radio, Andrew McKenzie, Ann Bednall from Southampton University 

Bob Edwards' show comes from a new studio.

The famous Thameside Radio 90.2 Circle Line Picnic is coming up on the 20th: We all met at Sloane Square on the anticlockwise platform at 2:30. Everyone had to  Bring a hat, a plant in a pot and food.

"Just Can't get Enough" from Depeche Mode  is a new release as is "It's my Party" by Dave Stewart. Bob has a competition to make an automatic feeder for the new Thameside kitten.

The fast food survey tries out a kebab shop, but comes from a listeners house: Philippa from Barnes (see photo). Bob went out to buy the kebabs and rumbabas.   

Next week's survey is from Mazzy's neck of the woods: The Copper Kettle in Byfleet

Dave offers a listener who complains about his his show half an hour of airtime!

Mentions include The Black Prince who rescued Bob when he nearly fell off Dave's Bike. The LSU school. Valerie Birtenshaw, Julian de Takats and John Brennan
