    I'd say they're about 2 years out. This should've been on in 1976.

    Would have spared us Brotherhood Of Man :D

    I see the backing singers are in suitably drab uniforms.

    That was also about 2 years out. It should've been 1974 for that one.

    Is "The big ships sailed down the alley, alley, o" a Manchester thing or a countrywide thing?

    Like last week - good song to start and finish, not much good in between.

    Always a joy to see Squeeze though.

    Blondie - could this be the last time we'll hear 'Denis'? In every other chart at the time Denis was number 1, it was only in the BMRB/BBC chart that Brian and Michael made the top, thanks to the wonder of Woolies!

    Strange that Blondie stayed at no 2 while other songs swapped around them.

    I was an audience member in 1978 or 1979 - can't remember exactly when. I also can't remember who were playing. But I do remember there was an act where there was an American style car (I think) on the stage from which the singers sang. I don't think it became a great hit - was more of a quirky song.

    Does this mean anything to anybody?

    Loving watching this series as often as I can. I know the words of nearly every song!

    You are forgiven.

    If you had been 9 or it wasn't for your nan (and if she wasn't doddery and senile by then) there would have been no excuse.

    I remember Time To Remember (unedited version) when it was shown on ABC TV pre-closedown on Saturdays in the 60s :eek::D
