“Hit the machinery a thump!”

Phil in Belfast suggests the machinery needs a good thump.

“Hit the machinery a thump if it’s not behaving!” says Phil in Belfast.

Sean’s been having a spot of bother getting his music to play.

He stalls for time. “Do you remember years ago you used to do that to the television? It used to have this habit of the picture rolling up, or down. You’d hit the television a tap on the top, then on the side. I wonder if it did any good?”

With music from Dave Edmunds, Alvin Stardust, Dolly Parton, and more.
