There are more. The past was a very weird place.

Its hard to see Dennis Waterman now with thinking of 'Write the feeme tune, sing the feeme tune'
All started by a bloke that was once funny.

They should repeat that Club reality thing that a pissed Sam Fox drank her way through dressed as a vampire IIRC. That and the Brits with Mick Fleetwood.

Indeed..... I remember both of those excruciatingly embarrassing moments.

Well i enjoyed that...... always like to laugh at celebs being cringingly embarrassing type tv.

They're as deluded as the early stages performers on tv talent shows.

Yes but

Frank Sinatra one of the greatest singers of the Twentieth Century

The only thing Telly Savalas was good at was playing a cop called Kojak

Surprisingly, there were some things I never knew about, particularly the Eddie Murphy one

I often wonder the same of apparent showbiz journalist Ashley Pearson! I didn't watch all of this show...did she pop up too? Ha.

Difficult when you are hired to present a big event and nothing follows the running order so you have no idea what or who will appear next. They were introducing people or acts, following the running order and script, and someone completely different would appear. Many others would have just have walked off stage and left the organisers of the event to sort it out.

Tracy Ann Oberman must rarely leave the voiceover booth these days as she's doing this one too.

Worth watching just to see Jamie Oliver nailed as the "Food Bono".

Seems to be the only showing (aside from +1).

It does seem to be his "job" , i wonder how much they get for being a talking head, you see the same faces on these countdown shows , i can't imagine them being a big pay day , which is probably why you see the same desperate celebs doing them.

Tracy-Ann Oberman's voice overs are good though , she's got just the right amount of sarcasm

I'd never seen that Eddie and Michael Jackson duet either. I think this came one year after Eddie & Naomi Campbell had appeared in Michael's Remember The Time video so Michael was probably repaying the favour.

I know Eddie did a song called Party All The Time in the 80s which is probably his most famous 'hit' (well I think it was a hit in the States in any case).

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, some truly mind-boggling howlers on there, my faves being Mr. T, Shatner & Paul Shane (BAY-BEE BAY-BAY!), but I think Naomi Campbell's excruciating attempt should've been included rather than Sam Fox.

Some pedant points lost for 'The Matchroom Room' (with Chaz & Dave) and Dennis Waterman wasn't number one in 1983, but other than that an entertaining show.

Catherine Zeta-Jones also released a song as well but I can't recall if it was any good or not.

The caption writer was obviously having an off moment with The Matchroom Room as that was a glaring error
