BBC R1 12.45 pm Paul Burnett If you managed to catch the recent Radio 1 DJs' rock 'n' roll show you'll know that Paul Burnett is at home in drape and creepers, he's also the owner of a juke-box. He says, 'Rock 'n' roll is the fundamental basis of most of today's pop music, although most people tend to dismiss it as old-fashioned.' It's durable too - with Shakin' Stevens' 'This Ole House' recently topping the singles chart and a number of rockabilly groups achieving success. The new Top 40 singles are included in today's programme.
 * Top 40: top 3 places all unchanged since last week. N4 Kim Wilde - Chequered Love (9). Among the new entries: N28 Champaign - How 'Bout Us, N32 Enigma - Ain't No Stopping, N34 Vangelis - Chariots of Fire, N39 Kraftwerk - Pocket Calculator, N40 Squeeze - Is That Love.
