Jarvis saw Iggy and The Stooges play with Suicide this week — we get to hear Iggy preaching to the crowd. On This Day, Thomas Blood tried to steal the Crown Jewels, Buffalo Bill opened his Wild West Show in London and the first contraceptive pill was launched (so we hear the intro to Valley of the Dolls). The incomparable Arthur Lowe delights the listeners with his narration of Mr Noisy by Roger Hargreaves. Plus Alan Bennett performs the comedy sketch The Telegram, Miranda July shouts a surprising rock intro, and John Selwyn Gummer tells us to 'just shut up!' And we find out whether Richard Thompson Is Any Good. Birthdays: Dave Gahan, Paul Heaton, Paul McGuigan, Glenda Jackson, JM Barrie (who invented celebrity cricket), Roger Hargreaves, Albert Finney, Billy Joel, Richard Adams and Alan Bennett.
