Steve Hackett at the UEA, and a Trip to the Zoo, Banham and Norwich, Norfolk - 15th November 2009
Steve Hackett - one-time lead guitarist for legendary group Genesis - performs a stunning and diverse set, with his "Electric Band", at the University of East Anglia, on the outskirts of Norwich. There's even a section of Genesis numbers, amongst all the newer (and older) original Hackett material - including Firth of Fifth and one of Nosher's all-time favourite tracks "Blood on the Rooftops". The day before, Nosher had been out to drop this year's apple crop off at Greenwood's near Carleton Rode, and stopped off at what may-or-may-not be a derelict garage in New Buckenham - prices hadn't been updated since petrol was 93p a litre, there were wrecked cars and weeds everywhere, but the lights were still on. Later on, Nosher, Isobel and Fred spend a few hours at Banham Zoo, where we look at the black-and-white monkeys and some giraffe, amongst others.

A meerkat peers around
A meerkat has a good little dig
A cheetah prowls around
A cheetah's got its game face on
A giraffe licks a post
Giraffes nibble each other
A meerkat show
