The Marauders Maddie W is seventeen years old, spent a large part of her childhood (fruitlessly) aiming to become either Delia Smith or Michael Palin, and is noted for her atrocious sense of direction.
Maddie B is impatiently awaiting her eighteenth birthday. Her main passions in life are ukuleles, Neighbours and Twixes. She tends to cough after drinking hot lemon.
Gabrielle was genuinely disappointed on her eleventh birthday when she didn't get a letter inviting her to join Hogwarts. She never tried using her pencil as a wand though. No. Ahem.
Space Oddity (1969, David Bowie). The BBC refused to give it airplay until the Apollo 11 astronauts had returned safely from the moon. Whistle For The Choir (2006, The Fratellis). Was originally titled 'Knickers In A Handbag' but was changed at the request of the record company. Help (1965, The Beatles). Covered by (amongst others) Deep Purple, The Carpenters, The Damned, and Dolly Parton. Medley incorporating bits of Cars (Gary Numan), Don't You Want Me (Human League) and Prince Charming (Adam Ant).
