The Lotus Eaters one. I can't remember it to be honest. Maybe when it comes up ( if it comes up ) it might be one of those long forgotten gems I occasionally come across on TOTP. Liked the other 4 you listed.

Does the top 10 video countdown return during 1983? I know it was used for a while during 1981 and for I think one week in February 1982 with Mike Read. I can't remember it appearing during 1983 though.

'The First Picture of You' by The Lotus Eaters is a nice track and always reminds me of late summer '83. I think it'll go down well with a lot of forumites.

Not too sure on that one Andy. I was always a sucker for the Top 10 countdown with the clips. It was a nice build up to the No.1. I know they were doing it in '85 when King's 'Alone Without You' was in the Top 10. Now there was a tune!
I like to listen to them one after the other. |

![]() I will be surprised if you dislike it. It is definitely as good as it gets in 83, for me! |

I have just had a horrible thought....
In the near future, the end of each TOTP will have "next week's edition will be presented by xxxxx". What is giong to happen when the following edition was hosted by JS or DLT? Are we to see further cuts? |

It's time for the BBC to stop being so silly. When Mike Smith's name is mentioned as a presenter for the next show they ought to leave it in. I think we can all cope with the fact that he won't actually be presenting the next show.

Leaving him out is quite bad for his reputation, as many people will assume that it's because he did something .... dodgy. Sarah ought to think about that.

I don't mind ''The Crown'' by Gary Byrd. Another track from 83 i rather like is ''Christian'' by China Crisis. I particularly like the bass playing. Quote:

![]() ![]() The above 3 acts -.Gary Byrd, China Crisis & The Lotus Eaters had probably some of the best songs of 1983, although I'm sure I'll be reminded of a few more over the coming weeks. |

A few tracks that I like/remind me of 83 (especially the summer months):
Heaven 17 - Temptation Level 42 - Living it up (the sun goes down) Style Council - Long Hot Summer - as indeed it was Phil Fearon/Galaxy - Dancing Tight Yazoo - Nobody's Diary Flash and the pan - Waiting for a train. Just thinking of my V back candy striped dress from Clockhouse at C&A ....... it looked okay at the time

![]() I had a gorgeous V neck crushed velvet dress in midnight blue that was ruched up the front, and a snake-patterned dress with a boned bodice, no sleeves or straps. Wish I could get into them now if I still had them!

I had some lovely dresses then. But they took some finding as everything seemed to have elasticated waists which made me look like a parcel. And the shoulder pads! I used to take out the padding as they made me look like an American footballer.
