Can somebody let me know what all this "LMSO" talk is. I suppose I could scroll back but the thread is so long and fast moving I'd probably struggle to find the relevant posts. I really have no clue what any of it's about so would appreciate someone enlightening me.

Thanks in advance.

There appears to be a segment on number ones around Europe in tonight's episode - is this another JK contribution? I expect it will be edited out of the 7:30 showing either way, probably with two full songs as well? My guess would be...

Regarding Boz Lowdown being or not being "The Gatherer". It really makes no odds to us posting on the board but the Mods see things differently. If you're a previously banned user (which The Gatherer definitely is) if anyone reports any of your posts and the Mods clock you're a PBU they'll ban you permanently again. It might be worth our while moving on from the speculation of who he is as he seems to be (currently) a decent poster with a bit of wit and knowledge about him. Long may it continue.

She was a member of the dance group Zoo, I believe, who always tried her hardest to get her face on the box week after week on TOTP. If you watch tonight you will probably see her stood next to whoever is presenting, grinning inanely, with her arms waving madly around in the air!! !!

Yes - wisely put!

Thanks very much Ursula.

I might watch it "live" tonight for the first time in ages. I go to a choir on Thursday nights but it's not on tonight for mid term break, hence my downturn in posting.

Cheers hunny

Very glad to hear it! Not sure about the "as yet" bit though! Is there anyone who might tempt you?


According to my guide I think you're pretty much spot on there Sgt.

As one of the founding members of the LMSO fan club (although I haven't gone as far as Andy …), I have to make a small correction: Cazz - as she is also known (in real life) - was a cheerleader, rather than a member of Zoo (Zoo being the elite to which all cheerleaders presumably aspired).

Hence her over enthusiasm trying to grab the limelight - can't believe I need to post this again, but here goes anyway …

That's Cazz/LMSO, on the right of David Jensen - in one of her most memorable performances.

That's right it says Unavailable on my phone, so I'll have to fire up the lap top instead 👍

Watched the same last night and agree with what you have written. The Associates were camping it up greatly (and Martha's outfit!) and evidence that Billy Mac was feeling comfortable enough to do so.

I actually think Paperlate is more Phil Collins then Genesis but that's my opinion. Going to attempt to buy tickets for PC in the morning as I think he has a fairly peerless song book.

The quality of my recording was relatively poor so couldnt be sure if LMSO was being grappled by Savile at one point during a piece to camera. Otherwise his presenting style is awful and the chart rundown only saw him read out the acts and where they had moved from in the charts

Fantastic play out with a repeat of the Goody Two Shows studio performance to cap a 9/10 edition (the deduction for now then, now then)

Freedom is a great song although I differ in that I liked Club Tropicana and the stuff they did before the label move...

Yes, I agree, after the show would be much better please Rich, although maybe an hour or two after so that it doesn't get lost in the many posts around broadcast time.

Maybe not the post to quoye but the talk of Wham reminds me of a vey early photo shoot for Record Mirror back in 1982. Both were very very hairy, which has (apparently!) always stick with me!! Bit divert to the preened and waxed stars of today 😂

Oh yes, I liked the vast majority of stuff they did before the label move as well.

Luckily - there is currently nobody that I'm desperate enough to chuck my smalls at!!

I had to scroll through quite a few pages to find out what it meant. Quite why people care about discussing her so much is lost on me.

Message understood loud and clear. I won't post any more Top 75's before the corresponding 7.30pm editions of TOTP as quite a few have requested - only afterwards. I particularly like what you did again Robbie by adding the breakers underneath by the way.

Yes just after would be good!


HURRAY!!

January 2017. ......or March 1983.

His last show was way back on 5th April 1979, so three years ago. It's a shame because I think he's one of the best. During the 1979 to 1982 period he was then doing the Radio 1 Top 40 on Sunday night of course, but by this time in 1982 he had stopped doing it so it appears like he was getting a bit underused by the BBC - just like right now!

I always imagined he did quite a few TOTP in 1979 to 1982 and was surprised to discover he didn't. I guess he next appears on the 30th September 1982 edition which was the 15th anniversary of Radio 1. Definitely not going to be aired that one.

So his next proper presenter duty on TOTP will be in 1983 when I clearly recall him doing the show a few times.

Edit - Just checked infact and he next appears as co-presenter with new boy Gary Davies on 17th March 1983. Most annoying is that he presents a few more later in 1983 but just his luck he was landed with Savile and then DLT.

I totally agree with you. Unlike Legs & Co who were a well defined unit of women each week on one particular single, Zoo and their hangers on are just an amorphous mulch of undefined nonentities to me that blend into the background despite the flamboyance they attempt.

I hope Andyd1302 doesn't read this - I think he's thinking of proposing to her!!

The good people of Popscene has just said that the 22nd July episode which was originally had muted links will be shon on BBC Four and will be pencilled in for the 3rd November.

Yes, I think it would be a JK link. And yes, again, it looks like those 2 edits. A bit disappointed about the second one.

That's great. Not the strongest of editions but good we won't lose another one from '82.
