Behind the scenes
Skiffle is a musical genre with influences in jazz, blues and folk.

According to a submission to whoisdoctorwho.co.uk from Marcus Butler, a bloke in a leather jacket would turn up to Marcus' father's skiffle band in the 1960s while they were busking. He said that the man would "turn up, take out his spoons and play along with the band". Marcus claimed that the man would have to have been in his 70s "now".
