I loved this, I was 16/17 training as a dental nurse in Bootle when this was on, we would all hear the intro music huddle around to listen to the stories, amazing. Xx
@@mrtoptenatten yes when the sun was yellow , a quid went a mile, beer was 27p crisps 8p , half penny chews , simple consoles played for pleasure not obsession, seaside weekends, no mobile phones etc.
I remember one where the mother a young girl who loved horses. She fed the local horses every day with apples from the tree in the garden. The mother spoke to the horse owners and got one of the horses to come to the girls bedroom so she could see one of them before she passed. I was working when I heard that episode and was standing in the corner with tears running down my cheeks. Very sad.
Toby Wilson just heard that taxi - brilliant! I’m over the moon that Simon Bates has agreed to be a guest-artist on my debut album, Transgenre, which God and COVID permitting, will be out at the end of the year! I’ve written some music, which I’ve dedicated to Simon, and which ‘pays homage; to Nino Rota’s hauntingly iconic music. The album will fuse the two corner-stones of my musical identity - Opera (my career for 20 years, until ill health forced my early retirement as an Opera Singer), and Pop - the music I grew up with in the 80s, and to which you could say I’m returning today. And I really wanted to include Simon in the album’s concept, because of the impact of the hair tingling resonance the listener would feel, hearing that gorgeous, sonorous voice of his, combine with music I wrote to deliberately to be at the same time ‘very similar,’ and ‘quite distinct’ to Rota’s mesmeric orchestral score. So while the album will present some pretty ground-breaking “Operatic Pop,” fusing my two favourite musical branches together, there will also be songs written about contemporary, political and/or social issues - a genre that was very common and very popular in the 80s, but has more recently become much rarer to hear. Plus music influenced by The Pet Shop Boys, Underworld, Leftfield, Noel Coward and Trevor Horn, just a few of the incredible artists and producers whose music I’ve adored. In fact - if Trevor Horn produced the “Soundtrack of my Youth,” then Simon Bates - with that exquisite sense of timing he always brought to his broadcasting, and the power of those simple, sincere Our Tune letters - was its “MC!” Xx
Jacky Capes Oh don’t worry there’s quite a bit more, especially of television. Apparently, there’s a box of tapes recorded in London at my grandparents house in the roof that I need to acquire at some point in the near future - so fingers crossed that’ll be some Thames and LWT
@@paulsengupta971 thank you very much been looking for this glad u reply and kindly give me the exact link to listen it please there are so many different versions
I was eighteen when I became pregnant, had no partner, no job but abortion was not an option, he is now 36 years old and doing well in Australia. Stop making excuses for killing your baby.

Everyone stopped on the site at 11 am for our tune love the 80s 90 s 👍👍👍🇬🇧👍
Back in the days......when we were all happy in the uk
@@mrtoptenatten yes when the sun was yellow , a quid went a mile, beer was 27p crisps 8p , half penny chews , simple consoles played for pleasure not obsession, seaside weekends, no mobile phones etc.
Yeah. Worked stopped at 11 for our tune. And when the Roadshows were on, we also stopped for Bits and Pieces.
And took the piss usually
@@mrtoptenattenwhen men were men and women were gobshite split arses 👍👍
Loved " Our Tune " I was an avid listener . A part of my youth.
I worked in the machine room at Nat West Bank from 1983 to 1987. Everything stopped except answering the phone, for Our Tune. We were all in tears!
remember this when at school in art lesson with the radio on. memories that will never fade
I remember Our Tune in the 80s on radio 1 with Simon Bates and it always 5 mins Monday to Friday and it was 10.55am and it just remind me of school.
I couldn’t wait to get out the car as a kid when this pelt came on . Now I’m watching it all gown up
Lmfao at 'pelt'
Sound of my childhood in the back of the car driving to b&q on a Sunday 😂
Always loved listening to these stories

Love the bit at 6:25 when the taxi driver interference comes through. Haven't heard something like that for ages! 😂
Toby Wilson You really don’t get that with DAB!

@@classicalbanksy4908 great you'll have to let us know when it's released
Got me in tears ffs
"They decided they'd make the most of a bad situation"
This had me doubled over way more than it should have. Blunt but funny 😂
Whenever someone gives me a pathetic sob story, I hum this tune 🤣😂🤣
Inwardly?
I get it up.on hear to play lol
I do it to my partner! Outloud.
Would really like to see more our tune videos
Nothing like it today. Feelings are seen as as weakness these days. In my opinion...
I never knew he done our tune on Sunday? When he moved to smooth radio, he done our tune, Monday to Friday!!
I suppose different radio stations scheduled it at different days.
I miss this
Oh my
I wonder what happened to the couple....
It would be interesting to find out. Are they not here in the comments somewhere?
Is ' Our Tune' even here anymore?
Have you got any more our tunes from the 90's or the 80's?
This is the only one I've came across so far. Knowing my family though there's more cassettes so you never know. I'll upload them as I find them
@@betaman7988 Thanks very much!! Look forward to seeing what you put on UA-cam later on!!

@@danye8443 That I have no idea, sorry!
Most depressing tune in history.
As if matters to a clump of cells.
Meat is murder
"I hope I've offended nobody, and I hope I've upset no one at all."
. . . *_# She was a Jezebel #_*
damn
Shame on Diane
Quite a boring one. A woman has an abortion. Nobody dies, end of story.
It was much, much more frowned upon 30+ years ago, and very rarely discussed.
she gives blood 2 times a year that makes it ok i give blood every month on the first of the month like clockwork
One of the most selfish acts you can do.
a letter does not excuse murder .
I was eighteen when I became pregnant, had no partner, no job but abortion was not an option, he is now 36 years old and doing well in Australia. Stop making excuses for killing your baby.
I would not have had an abortion in that situation, she had a partner to support her, no excuses.
Killing an innocent Life
Lol, nobody died.
Judge not lest you be judged !
So selfish
"ledda" ? ..I forgot what "dosser" he sounded like 😂
