As discussed on the 16 February 1987 show. At least Lou didn’t black up for the video.

As also played on the 11 August 1984 show, a quite spectacular video and the first ever Stock/Aitken/Waterman production to reach the UK chart.

As discussed on the 11 August 1984 show, today’s episode of Channel 4’s pop show Ear Say, including a bizarre Elton John interview (is there any other kind) and all sorts of mid-80s pop nonsense. Can’t embed the video here though, annoyingly, so you’ll have to click this link to enjoy it.

As mentioned on the 9 June 1980 show, B.A. (Big Angus) Robertson’s “To Be Or Not To Be” was covered a couple of years later by Micky Dolenz of the Monkees, who released it as a single in Japan and promoted it with this… idiosyncratic TV performance.

As mentioned in the 19 May 1983 show, although it’s from a couple of years earlier, Ian Dury interviewed for BBC schools programme “Scene”.
