Read a contemporary Sunday Telegraph TV review column the other day that took as a starting assumption that everyone knew Our Friends In The North was a hilarious embarrassment, even though every other paper was rapturous about it. Like this one journo had visualised everyone wearing deely boppers.

Shame that Chris Rea is known to a whole generation entirely for a chintzy unrepresentative song and for not cracking eggs.

Sorry, how is it not being talked about that one of Lorraine Kelly's choices on this morning's Desert Island Discs was Grace Jones' version of Warm Leatherette, which she described as "naughty"?

Enjoyable fact: the current, Huey-less line-up of Fun Lovin' Criminals contains more members from Leicester than New York. #totp

Hi, 1998, I'm a time traveller from 2025. Yeah, I'd rather not go into a lot of it. But wait until you find out what Billie's doing now! #totp

Sorry, still thinking about how Vindaloo, video and performance, is full of Max Wall impersonators and they expected the kids to understand that. #totp

This is not the best representation of Silver Sun, but it is worth wondering what would have happened had the lead track from this covers EP instead been either their Xanadu or their You Made Me Realise. #totp

This was the official England World Cup 1998 single with a personnel that couldn't miss, and it was still the third biggest England World Cup 1998 single. #totp
