They're currently on 1986 and that means we'll soon be coming up to the clip of the AKOM video in the top 10 which prompted me to turn to my dad and ask if it was the same band I enjoyed so much. He said it was and we popped into town that Saturday to get the single.
Happy facking days.
/\ Blummin sure Dysan. Great.
I only hope it wasn't Savile who presented that episode. They'll skip past like it didn't happen.
Yeah, or it will be about 8 minutes long.
Currently Diana Ross is number one with Chain reaction. That means Bowie next week with Absolute Beginners - held off the top spot by Ms. Ross.
*shakes fist*

In my top five Bowie tracks that.
It's great. Kind of become a deep cut despite it being such a bit hit.
I think it was maybe the AKOM video that got me into Queen, I saw it on TV then saved all my money to buy whichever Queen album was in the charts at the time which happened to be Live Magic and loved it so much I had to hear the 'proper' (studio) versions of all those songs and that is where it began.
I was 10.
Lovely. Similar time line for me except I'd had my dad's GH1 LP and had been aware of Radio Ga Ga. I'd got the debut copied for me at some point but my first actual album was also Live Magic.
I was 10.
/\ you're Arny bairns man ! - I was 16 when SSOR came out. Perfect timing.
SSOR is what hooked me in on GH after first listening to it to hear Flash.
Yeah, your 'in' wins there. So was that your first purchase?
Unfortunately the late Mike Smith was one of the TOTP presenters when the AKOM video was first featured on March 27th.
No episodes featuring him are allowed to be re-broadcast as he didn't sign a licence extension agreement.
The second showing with different presenters on April will be re-broadcast though.
He was a beautiful kind soul.
Hold on... I just looked that up and it's true.
That's nuts.

His appearance on March 27th only amounts to him introducing the song by talking over the intro anyway.
Yeah. I was referring to the brief clip I guess the following week. If I'd actually seen that at the time my brain might have short circuited. Although also, I might be getting muddled up with my 30 year old memory.
I remember the POTU video got an airing one week (that I bloody missed) and my pal at school loved it. He was going on about this song (which I hadn't heard at that point) and would go around the playground shouting 'come on come on!! bring on the girls!' at girls.
Good days man.
