So much to dislike on today's #TenToTheTop: horrors and geegaws from Clive Dunn, Gareth Malone, Bill Nighy, and Bryan Adams' song that felt like it was going to be a Christmas number one.
But we also got a chance to swoon in Martika's kitchen, and - oooooooooh! - Sunderland's finest.

An incorrect answer on #TenToTheTop reminded me of
The Marines.
Who? Exactly.
Sarah, Helen, and Denny were a three-piece power pop girl group from 1989, produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. A handful of flop singles ensured they'd be dropped before the end of 1990.
"Go go now" is a top-drawer bop. I accept no responsibility if you wake up at 3am humming this song.

I’ll take that.
65 and 29 on Ten to the Top, with chat about Another Level, Finley Quaye, a Five Star question, the Reynolds Girls, Savage Garden’s extended top ten run, and this utter classic.

"La primavera" - Sash!
Hard lines to the contestant on Ten to the Top this morning, who confused this song in Italian with the French-language "A common frog".
Still, it's good to see that Pan's People have a European counterpart.

Contestant: Yeah, I've been with my daughter to see Busted and McFly about five times.
Question: Who had a big hit with 'Air hostess'?
Contestant: Erm, er, pass.

In this session we heard from @peterrowlett, who thinks he might be related to the master of the mint (but maybe we all are!), as well as Alyssa Burlton, who discusses what makes the perfect Mathsjam presentation - will the later talks follow the advice given? @mikegibson2010 talks about how likely it is for a child to be named Susan, and the effects of "Marmativity". Fredrik and Ida showed their Rubik's Dice, and demonstrated a feat of mental arithmetic using it (find them on Instagram @sciencecircus) Finally in this session we heard from @sam_hartburn who talks about the scoring on Radio 2's morning music quiz, and discussed how fair (or otherwise) it is.
