2015-04-12: On This Day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin left the Earth in a rocket and became the first human in space. Jarvis explores how that event kickstarted the Space Race and gave music and culture a thirst for all things cosmic. We get to imagine we've voyaged into space too, and Jarvis tells us all about Yuri's Night, an inspiring world space party to commemorate milestones in space exploration. Birthdays include David Cassidy, Will Sargent, Oliver Postgate (we hear from the Clangers!), Lois Reeves, Clare Danes and Bobby Moore.
