...oh heavens... Saturday afternoons and 2FC. I can't remember whether 
My Word and My Music were scheduled before or after the Goons but I 
remember the comedy triple. My Word also had a segment in which the 
panel had to create stories around mangled versions of sayings and 
proverbs. Hence "he gravels fastest who gravels a lawn", and "I am 
Monica, Val, Lisa, Fay" have somehow stuck in my mind for toooooo many 
years...
