And to think that the phrase 'camel toe' wasn't invented yet.
Top Of The Pops 1982 - BBC4

I want the 2017 UK Eurovision entry to be a four piece group with 2 males and 2 females. That's how we do best.

LOL
See you at 7:55 next week, then.
What a marvellous advert that edition was for the breadth and variety of pure pop music in 1982. Imagine what the modern-day equivalents of those acts would all sound like.

Truly brill edition of TOTP tonight - no hesitation in giving it 9/10. Tempted to give it another half point on top of that but will hold back a bit.
I reckon a few regulars forgot it was on tonight.

Agreed, loved it.
The charts are actually very good in 1982 but sometimes the songs picked to be on TOTP (like last week) are pretty rubbish
I'll add another 9/10. All great apart from Shakatak. No edits either apart from Jk. Oh and the 7.55 start was due to Young Musician of the year.
Even though I can hardly read the comments on this small mobile screen - I would like to say - great episode - 7/10 with Simple Minds having the best song!! Although like Sgt Rock - I still haven't a clue what Jim is singing!!
Shakatak remind me of sitting in a wine bar with their music!!

If only they'd had the advantage of today's tattoos, piercings, silicone and botox.

Only the songs on Jonathan King's US Chart Report.

Was Jeff 'Reg Hollis' Stewart a regular audience member or was he just lucky during 'The Safety Dance'?

Biding his time till he could appear in Sam Brown's 'Can I Get A Witness' video...

Yes - it was called 'Top Ten: Really Awful Records' and broadcast on Channel 4 circa January 1999 - I don't remember any of the 8 acts listed above - the only two I recall were Jilted John and Althea and Donna's Up Town Top Rankin' which presumably are the two which slipped your mind.

Didn't Stephen Fischer previously appear on TOTP in June 1976 as the shorter of the two front men in New Edition singing the new 'Seaside Special' theme tune Sunshine Saturday ?

I thought the mutual pelvic thrusts on all fours at the beginning were nearer the knuckle.

Which is a bit strange when you consider it is only 15th April tonight and the 1982 World Cup didn't even begin for another couple of months until 13th June with the Final on Sunday 11th July. Yet the track peaked at No2 in the first week of May. It dropped out of the forty in the week before the competition began. The Scottish World Cup Squad one did much the same too and was gone long before the World Cup started. That one had the actor from Gregory's Girl, John Gordon Sinclair on vocal and I think on TOTP, making No6. I wonder how many English bought it? I think it's fair to say that any Scots would have more likely bought the German or Polish World Cup single before the England one.
Meanwhile I was amused to see that a poll in Scotland finds that Mrs May is more popular than Sturgeon.
I hope you don't mind me gatecrashing the party.
I've really been enjoying these 1982 episodes with today's one, 15th April 1982, being the best one so far. If Smash Hits magazine made an edition of TOTP then that would have been it (with the exception of that hold music/lift muzak from Shackatak).
I have no first hand memory of the year (I was born in Oct 78 so would have only been 3 1/2 during this time) but I have always loved music from the early 80s.
I do like Roxy Music. I imagine when Bryan Ferry wakes up in the morning he looks effortlessly cool, no morning bed head for him. Even eating his breakfast he probably puts on his best suit.
Do we get to see Adam Ant performing Goody Two Shoes in the studio where he moves around the studio between different sets with various girls dancing behind him or is it Yewtreed?
