    Thanks Yorkie.

    What connection does the first song played on Radio 1 have with Wimbledon?

    Getting there, Yorkie. It is not the song but the singer.

    Flowers in the Rain by The Move. Founder member of The Move was Trever Burton. Terry Burton was manager of Wimbledon - were they brothers?

    Not as far as I know. You are on the right track with The Move. It has nothing to do with football.

    Something to do with Roy Wood of the Move and Mike Batt of Wombles fame. They did work together.

    That's it, more or less, Frenchie. Over to you.

    Roy Wood went on to form Wizzard and their Christmas hit "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" was transformed into "I Wish It Could Be A Wombling Merry Christmas Everyday" which made the lower reaches of the charts (twenties). Roy Wood was credited with the Wombles as a performer.

    That's a surprise, so here is something similar. What links a working platform, a flower and a colour?

    Good thinking Fez, but not what I had in mind.

    Not moving, but working platform, although some do have wheels that allow you to push them to a new position. Mike Oldfield might have cut one up and used it.
