    I wonder if Sheila actually sounded that French when she sang or whether she played it up a bit?

    She couldn't speak English to save her life... I remember her saying that on French TV at the time.

    And there was me thinking The Human League were the first to have 2 girls singing in the back.

    Surprising the Regents didn't have more success with such a charismatic lead singer

    Well I can't see anything inappropriate about this.

    Not. A Thing.

    I don't remember this one either. Don't know why, because I should have liked this at time!

    I love '7 Teen' - great song.

    And at number 1, 'Brass In Pocket' - quite good!

    Martin Chambers evidently a Fulham fan going by that scarf.

    Oh, now, this is a great song by Kool and the Gang.

    She has :) I wish they BBC had had a better copy. The one on YouTube doesn't stutter

    The Spacer video is supposed to have that stuttering effect; it's special effects! If there's a version on YouTube that doesn't do that, it's either due to the change in frame rate from 25 to 30fps, or someone has taken it upon themselves to "fix" it. :)

    I never feel I can judge the show until I've seen the full version later. Should be good.

    Mike Read, Mike Read, 275, 285.

    I'm not sure when he took over.
