Failed the audition for Blockbusters and still bitter about it.
Mostly ranting about films, old TV, Top of the Pops and The Archers. Nearly halfway through the Crossroads box set!

An episode of ITV Schools programme "Choices" focussed on Paul Henry, with lots of behind the scenes footage from #Crossroads - features Dee Hepburn and Graham Seed so 86 or 87 I guess.
Love all the bits of Paul switching from his posh "normal" voice to Benny mode!

Its amazing when you watch these mid-70s episodes and they are just totally ignoring the charts, despite received wisdom about all "the rules" about who could appear #totp

This MIGHT be the most recent hit by a 60s band with all its original members still in the lineup. #totp
Wikipedia reckons The Four Tops had no line-up changes until Lawrence Payton's death in 1997, which would mean "Loco in Acapulco" (1987) would qualify!
