Zeity, did you enjoy them with some fava beans and a nice chianti?

For me, Hot Gossip performing "Starship Trooper". Phew!!

Dexy's Midnight Runners singing "Jackie Wilson Said", with a giant image of Jocky Wilson behind them.

TOTP's success was that it is based on the R1 charts, but since they have lost all credibility, TOTP is meaningless and has to go.

Speaking of which, what was that sh1te at number one a couple of weeks ago - "I want to be a punk rocker ... etc"? A suitable load of crap to end on, I think.

Status Quo (I think Rockin all over the World) with the cardboard cutout of Francis Rossi

A bit picky I know but it was actually a cardboard cut out of Alan Lancaster the bass player.

From http://www.nostalgiacentral.com/music/statusquo.htm

The bass player moved to Australia in 1983 - a cardboard cut-out substituted on several television appearances - but he remained a member for the next two years, during which time the band announced they would be quitting live work.

They re-formed to play the opening slot at Live Aid in 1985 - Lancaster's final appearance with the band, following which he (unsuccessfully) took out a High Court injunction to prevent Status Quo performing without him.

I'll stop now as I'm scaring myself.

Sorry 'bout that

Thw Who on TOTP

Keith Moon wearing an "It's Not Live" Tee-shirt and kicking the drums over while the drumbeat is still playing - funny.

Absolutely - though I think that it was taken while I was doing a big poo.

But to be serious for a moment, I think my best TOTP memory was all those "up-skirt" shots.

Don't suppose anybody has got any pictures ???

....so that I can do a bit of rigorous reminiscing.

Nena - 99 Red Balloons

I loved her right up to the point when she raised her arms and showed off the jungle in her armpits.

I am right with you Clownio. I recall a group of girls called Fuzzbox (who remembers them?) who came on TOTP with unfeasibly short skirts. Hmmmm... happy memories...

That's "We've got a fuzzbox and we're gonna use it" to you.
