      My pick of the songs on this show was the Bucks Fizz TOTP studio performance from December 1982, with the amazing costumes on the girls.

    I liked this Janet Jackson single. She did some really good solo singles to.

      Standout song on this show is Woodstock by Matthews Southern Comfort. The TOTP footage of the girl travelling from London by train to Woodstock is I think a TOTP exclusive video, as it has not been found anywhere else, and I think there is a different video for it as the official video.

    Incredibly strong Top 10 in this 97 ep. I counted 4 million sellers in there, and you have a fifth in the No.11 song of course. How unusual would this have been, I wonder ,to have so many million sellers in the chart at once?
