Gary Davies was only 33 at this point.

In fairness, this is better than their previous singles.

It is fairly decent. But it's their last ever Top 40 hit, going up 6 places to number 27 next week before then disappearing without trace or probably even a play on radio ever again.

He was born at the age of 33(.3r), and he was still had younger mindset than Campbell and Mayo.

I thought Gary Davies seemed mildly emotional at the end when signing out. I guess he'd been presenting Top of the Pops for 10+ years before being forced out. The same would happen to him on Radio 1 a couple of years later.

I'm sure I H8ed him at the time, but I now think Gary was alight.

2nite episodes are the Coming of the new Dawn! THE YEAR ZERO!!!


I've not had a chance to watch it, but apparently the new exciting presenters are just like Simon Mayo mini-mes.

How do you pluralise the word 'me'?

I watched both of them. I remember excitedly tuning into the first episode exactly 30 years ago and finding it not so great at the time - even as an 11-year-old I found it a bit too...modern and yoof-ful. But watching it again all these years later it all just feels rather dated, with a slightly confusing format but overall not THAT much different. Even the live singing wasn't too bad.

I think I'll survive the revamp.

I'm in! 3rd October 2021 1991

No falling records.

Dancing, Some dated metalwork spinning around. Going Live Theme.


Fresh new look, man waving his arms around. I thought something something had natural rhythm? Singing live.

Set looks more early 80s if anything.

Camera panning through the dancing crowd. This song does nothing for me.

2 new presenters! Banter is pure Bruno Brooks.

Chart run up.

What? Spoilers!

NHotW favs the Voice of the Beehive!

Live vocals.

Something of the Army of Lovers about this one.

Geetar solo

Brades, Dave Hill fringe.

Cameraman getting a close up of someone's bottom! And it's not a lady!

Kenny Jones.

They keep showing the dancer,

5 string bass. Played right up under the chin.

Well, of course it is.

Belinda Carlisle being interviewed, badly!

Lime green gloves, chinchilla fur skirt. Live vocals.

Stevie Wonder!

It's one of his uptempo ones, that's a good thing. But it's not err.. good.

Horrible parping jazz chords.

Julian Lennon! Being interviewed.

Set is tots early 80s.

Song probably better than what John Lennon would be doing by the early 90s. If he wasn't like, you know, dead.
