  1. Touch & Go - this seemed to take over from The Beautiful South's originality on the previous week's show, with originality of its own, and I must say this came off very well, even though it had very few words, but at the same time very sexy tune and dancing on stage by the sexy latin-costumed couple.

    I noticed on the chart rundown a new entry at No.13 by Sham Rock called Tell Me Ma, and I was curious from the short video clip to watch the whole video, and this was something really special, a raunchy tune from (Northern?) Ireland with sexy Riverdance dancing and amazing costumes, and would recommend a watch of the video, and you will feel good all weekend:

    Possibly Ireland's answer to Cotton Eye Joe, but a hundred times better in my opinion. By the fact that TOTP played nothing lower than No.12 on the chart this week, Sham Rock missed out on a play at No.13 in what would have trumped everything else on the show if it got onto it somehow.

    Phil Collins with a new entry at No.26 also missed out on a play on the show with his version of Cyndi Lauper's True Colours, and a new entry at a peak of No.84 this week was Marc Almond with Black Kiss.

  2. Hi Angelo, could you put up the November 1977 TOTP shown on BBC4 tonight after the two 1998 episodes, as it had some really good stuff worth commenting on?
