    Dancing audience + a proper CHOON from an artist who’s never gonna play the show? Must be eighties #totp

    It’s not prime Stevie Wonder. But it’s still Stevie Wonder and, dammit, that chorus is unstoppable. #totp

    I can’t bloody stand Paul Weller for entirely irrational reasons, but this is still a banger. #totp

    You just know that, if they were available then, the Kipper’s Raybans would be creep glasses. #totp

    Tommy Vance: a DJ with a voice others would kill for, delivering the most anodyne possible links. I used to listen to his rock show on Friday nights, so I know he could do way better than his #totp presenting work. His heart’s clearly not in it.

    Love Wham!’s #totp appearances. They always look like they’re a gang of chancers delighted to be getting away with it. While performing absolutely peerless pop songs. Which is the exact opposite of so many other acts.

    No hand guitar solo! I don’t think The Stranglers are taking miming very seriously. #totp

    FUCK OFF HUTCH! Or is it Starsky? #totp

    Competent, but dreary. Almost belongs on one of the 2000 episodes. #totp

    CHOON! Also, more whiplash. #totp

    Bloody hell! They’re *playing* Yes! Jon’s voice is amazing. With almost coherent lyrics, which is remarkable all by itself. #totp

    This vocal isn’t live. Not holding the mic like that. #totp

    Bloody hell, S Club bloke with his mic fader pushed up? What’s going on? #totp

    So, how many links that Ms Middlemiss could get away with will Theakston attempt and fuck up? #totp

    Voice is there. Songwriting, not so much. #totp

    Bon Jovi still sounding remarkably like he did in the eighties. Liking this more than I expected, but then I’m a big fan of Slippery When Wet (despite the fucking awful title) #totp
