I was sitting at home this week and my mobile rang and it was ban unknown number which is always exciting, maybe a job offer or someone wanting to donate £1million pounds to me or something similar – "Hi it's Mohamed" - well I do know quite a few Mohameds - so I said "Hi" - He said "Do you still work at Harrods?" A few things went through my mind and I wondered whether someone named Mohamed would be calling me if he did know something that I didn't. But it crossed my mind that maybe it was Mohamed Al Fayed's way of firing staff. If I was an employee and said "Yes", was his next line "No you don't this is your verbal P45". Anyway I will never find out as I said I think you may have the wrong number and that was that.

Two minutes later the home phone went and it was one of those automated messages saying "This call is free and if you need to get rid of your debt, then..." I hung up but then started looking round for the TV cameras. Strange having two odd calls within two minutes.

I was in York on Wednesday for a few things and had to go to a few shops and found that they had moved a lot of shops around. Now, places do close and reopen in different places, but when it's some of the big names and they have just moved up the road or round the corner, it's a bit bizarre. Standing outside Boots which I had just found, a couple of women said "Oh that's strange, it used to be Woolworths" So it's a bit of a talking point it would appear. It's not just me.

We've had a few famous names on the show this week. Someone who you'll see a lot of in the coming month was on the show on Wednesday. Paul Michael Glaser – 'Starsky' to you, but soon to be the evil Abanazar at the Sunderland Empire. We had some photos done at the end of the chat and he said "What do we want here?" so I said we'll have a nice one and then an evil one for the Panto. In a trice he had whipped off his scarf and had it round my neck saying "Like this?" Boy is he ready to play the baddie!

Then Roy Wood was on the show on Friday. He from Wizzard's "I wish it could be Christmas everyday". It was interesting finding out that he wrote it in the February of 1973 and then went into a studio on a blazing August afternoon to record it. They chilled the studio put up some Christmas lights and wore bobble hats and coats to get in the mood. And then went out at 5pm for a quick snack, dressed in their Winter woolies. I suggested that as he was kept off the No 1 spot by Slade's superb record, it must have been spurred on by the fact that the previous year Little Jimmy Osmond had been on the top spot and everyone at the time thought, Oh purleese let's write something good. Well it worked as those two tunes are still bound to be the most played this Christmas 35 years later! Altogether in your best Julie Andrews voice - which brings us back to snow!! Snow ray me fah doh.

Catch you soon.
