    Not often a song called 'Snot Rap' reaches the top 40 :D

    It's a pity BBC Four do not show more live material - you'd have though it quite cost effective time filler.

    Wouldn't like to be on a flight next to Steve Wright, but Richard Skinner always seemed like a decent presenter.

    He did the opening bit of Live Aid "It's twelve noon in London ..." a few years after this.

    Neil Kinnock never got to 10 Downing Street but he did star in a Tracy Ullman Music Video

    More than Jeremy Corbyn will ever be able to do.

    just watching TTOP now , New Order live eek, U2 reliably belting it out. that Kajagoogoo song no memories of that one at all. Tracey Ullman cant not like her. I can still hum along to Duran Duran after all these years even though as a dude you werent supposed to like them that much ;-)

    Very odd sound on Dexy's Celtic Soul Brothers.
    They sound like they're singing up a pipe.

    Nice of the Beeb to fly Leroy all the way over from America just to say 'Yes, we are.'

    Ah, the decadent 80's.

    Will we ever know if that was a mistake or an in-joke?

    I'd forgotten what a superb song "Church Of The Poison Mind" was.

    The story goes that after Boy George's career hit the skids he had to move out of his flat.
    His father asked, while clearing out the wardrobe,"How many dresses do you actually need?".

    Interesting they had Debbie Allen (Fame) introducing a Michael Jackson video,
    It was Fame and these videos that blew away the Flick Colby school of choreography.

    It's mad to see 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson only entering the charts at no.30. It used to take a few weeks to climb to No.1. Unless it was The Jam, I seem to remember their last few singles going straight in at No.1.

    Nerdy fact...

    Around this time, Bowie was approached to be the next Bond villain (A View To A Kill) but turned it down.

    Note Christopher Walken's Bowie-esque look as Max Zorin.

    Get OUT..

    In fairness he was no Pavarotti, but it's those songs that send me straight back to where I was and who I was in 1983.
    And I would venture to say that the early to mid eighties was a classic era in British pop.

    With Grace Jones as the femme Fatale? Actually they could have used his missus Iman.

    One if the funniest things I've ever heard is the podcast "How did this get made" episode on A View To A Kill.

    How do we find the criminal here? Hmm. We'll start by tracking down all the people who own blimps. Wait, all the people who own blimps with the word "Zorrin" on the side...
