Queen at Live Aid in 1985 and Wimbledon feature on this week's Radio Times covers
Roger Taylor and Brian May recall the day Queen rocked the world, plus find out what it takes to be a British number one at Wimbledon.
With Wimbledon still hogging the schedules when this issue goes "live", we thought it would be a great idea to find out what it takes to be a British number one.
It must be strange to spend most weeks of your playing year as a "plucky Brit" who is loved by a nation for just getting past the third round of a tournament, then arrive in SW19 and be expected by the entire country to win the whole thing.
In this week's Radio Times magazine, Annabel Croft and Tim Henman are among our guides to having great expectation thrust upon one's shoulders.
We are also approaching the 40th anniversary of Live Aid and to help celebrate, RT's Caroline Frost spoke to two people who created quite a stir when they took the stage on that hot Saturday afternoon.
Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor reminisce about what is widely regarded as the greatest rock performance of all time. May says, "It was one of the few moments in anyone's life that you know you're doing something for all the right reasons."
I shall do what I did on the day. Watch the whole thing on TV with all the windows open, thought this time it won't be in a shared kitchen on a 13-inch black-and-white portable TV. How times have changed...
