In memory of Christopher Price and BBC Liquid News
BBC Three 1st April 2004 - it was no April fool, the last Liquid News.
"Liquid News is dedicated to the memory of Christoper Price, the man who was and is the spirit of the show."
Christopher Price sadly died 10 years ago today. He was an entertaining talent who would've put Eurovision on the map throughout the noughties... After his death, the entertainment news programme Liquid News had a multitude of presenters including Paddy O'Connell and Claudia Winkleman.
The reflective highlights clip above brings back some poptastic memories of the early 00s featuring Scooch, S Club 7, Nicki French, stars of stage and screen and Adam Rickett.

Titanic tunes that sunk without a trace!
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic on 15th April 1912.
Sadly, over 1500 people lost their lives. We remember the crew and passengers who did not survive the journey from Southampton to New York and salute the musicians who bravely played on...
Southampton taken from the Titanic Soundtrack.
Titanic has inspired many songs, famously My heart will go on by Céline Dion. Text och musik: James Horner and Will Jennings.
In 1981, this song attempted to represent Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Titanic - Fredrik
A bouncy up beat number... but it did not float to the top of the scoreboard, infact like its namesake sadly sunk without a trace. (Titanic was actually discovered 73 years later, while poor Fredrik is still waiting to be discovered internatinally...)
There are many tunes which have sunk without a trace over the years and today we harbour some of favourites which have hit Rock bottom.
This year Norwegian Sailors failed to sail to Eurovision in Baku instead they had to Stay in Oslo, Norway.
Sailors - Lisa Karlsnes
Text och musik: Lisa Karlsnes and Tomas Eriksen.
In the nautical noughties of 2004 we saw the biggest sinking of a song - A Fame-ous Melodifestivalen schlager shocka when these sailors failed to even make it direkt to Globen.
En gång för alla - Nina och Kim
Text och musik: N. Arn, G. Eurén and K. Eurén.
With a degree of Déja vu, read more schlager shockas here.
