It is over.
That was an insubstantial episode with the only highlight being by the Divinyls.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

The first of many, I wouldn't be surprised.
They had ten Top 40 hits in Australia, over the space of 14 years.

It's actually quite awful. The presenters are now standing in front of a green screen, much like an MTV VJ would have at the time, and with no audience people surrounding them, making it all rather sterile.
I'm now almost looking forward to the terrible big revamp which happened later in the year!
