Another French-themed show as Jarvis returns to Paris. He reads a story about a clever parrot from Love in the Time of Cholera. Cultural historian Andrew Hussey discusses how French philosophy influenced the British punk scene (with audio input from Elli Medeiros and Vivien Goldman). He also talks about the Situationists and how their ideas - making new art out of wreckage, DIY, reclaiming the poetry of real life, boredom as a revolutionary principle - fed into punk. On This Day, Fort Alamo fell, Muhammad Ali changed his name (he explains why) and Verdi's La Traviata premiered. Jarvis reads a Baudrillard quote on 'the dustbin of history'. Birthdays: Dave Gilmour, Mary Wilson, Frankie Howerd, John Noakes, Dick Fosbury, Gabriel García Márquez, Rob Reiner, Furry Lewis, Wes Montgomery, Elizabeth Browning (Elizabeth Taylor recites How Do I Love Thee) and Kiki Dee. Valete: John Philip Sousa, George Formby and Annie Girardot.
