    As I can't watch live, I dug out my Uk Gold recording of tonight's show to watch this morning and I'm wondering if we're going to have a Grease/Bright Eyes scenario with one of the videos (won't spoiler it) as it contains film footage. I bet it gets the chop from the earlier showing.

    I also watched the UK Gold recording the other day and tonight is another great episode. There is a little more emphasis on the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal this week which is refreshing, and also an act like Sky pretty much proved that musical versatility was also still a popular ingredient in pop, even after the back to basics punk/new wave approach.

    I don't think he was even saying "the wireless" ironically!

    Do you think Feargal promised his gran he'd wear that jumper on TOTP when she gave him it at Christmas?

    He's right to be upset about that Subbuteo thing - flicking a kick without your opponent knowing is clearly against the rules of the game.

    Nice jumper! Not perfect, but just nice.....for sitting in front of the TV, not being on it Feargal!

    Nice ditty though.

    Feargal is the visual definition of "rat-faced".

    Most people probably didn't know who The Human League were at this stage!

    Is there such a thing as a bad Undertones song?

    That was the Undertones only top ten single. They deserved more.

    David Essex - Guilty pleasure track.

    He's seamlessly integrated into that race footage isn't he? It's practically Avatar!

    Is this a video they knocked up themselves with motorbike footage from the Sports department?
