Recalling the moment the band learned their fate, Banks said they had been booked to take part in a live BBC Radio One chart rundown in Birmingham's Centenary Square.With the rain lashing down, the band sat waiting backstage as one by one the other acts left, until only they were left and just two names remained in contention.

"Robson and Jerome hadn't actually bothered to turn up, but we were announced number two," Banks said."We went out, Jarvis was wearing his usual quite stacked heels and promptly went arse over apex on the slippery flatbed lorry and ended up lying flat on his back miming along to Common People on the radio."Pop historian Jonathan Rice said the song was among an "eminent list" of hit singles that never reached number one.

"Strawberry Fields by The Beatles never made the top," he said."Vienna by Ultravox was kept off number one by Shaddupyaface by Joe Dolce.

He looks up at the screen and spots Russian soldiers moving again. He and his colleagues calculate the co-ordinates of their positions and pass them on to their artillery unit.We drive from the command centre to the artillery position, on mud tracks running through a wide expanse of open fields. Clumps of mud fly in the air, our car slips and slides, as we move as fast as possible. The speed is a mitigation against strikes from drones, which have sharply increased fatalities for both Russia and Ukraine since they were deployed in large numbers in 2023.
