Top tunes, chat and favourite 80s tracks

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat, and play some of their favourite tracks from the 1980s.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Following 6 Music’s day of 80’s music on Thursday, Mark and Stuart reflect on the music of that era, and spin some of their favourite tracks from the decade from The Sugarcubes, Weather Prophets, Shalamar, The Smiths, Level 42, and Lloyd Cole and The Commotions. They also go back even further in time with 60's food chat - fish fingers and blancmange, anyone?

Also on the show… a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
