Yeah, that was convincing.

They're really flogging this Hallowe'en theme to death (pardon the pun) aren't they?

Smashie & Nicey endo of an eras was so accurate when they spoofed TOTP.

And now excuse me whilst I relive my youth by changing the lyrics to 'fartbreaker' for amusing effect.

Funny to think that Dionne Warwick was actually quite young once upon a time.

Has there ever been a more plodding drumbeat?

Sounds designed to feature purely on cassette compilations burbling out of Mini Metros in traffic jams stuffed with office drones hating their lives and seething with resentment.

I love Simon Bates. One of the best ever TOTP presenters. I think you can still listen to him on BBC Devon....

Heartbreaker is a good song usually but doesn't help this bland episode so far.

Great song, even if the combined age of those on the video is about 500.

Bit camp from Simon then.

Couldn't they have cut this out and left Blue Zoo in?
What? It's been cut?!!!
