listening to radio 4 today they played some music (i use the term loosely) i think it was the splice girls & they really realy wanted a zig a zig argh? (i think thats how its spelt) could one of the musicians that are on here tell me what it is & where i might obtain one

I suspect they wanted Zig and Zag but auto-correct was switched on.

Play it again on iplayer thing ?

It's your hearing, what they actually want is a really, really, really really big cigaaaaar!

Man that fair brings a tear to the eye! It's as though Shakespeare lives on through the butch one, the ginger, the halfway decent one, the vicious one and silicon valley.

Oops! I thought that you were developing a taste for the Spice Women, are you telling me that I've got it wrong?
I guess that you won't be wanting to look at the following video clip either..

No? Oh well, there's no accounting for taste. Never mind. By way of compensation for your ears, I found a vid that shows a clip from one of the Star Wars films. Watch closely and you'll see a young Anna Friel in an early rôle..
