For all the old farts...
'Too many broken hearts in the world'......

Nkotb Christmas album is a treat that more people should know about
Who's now watching the Saturday Night Fever doc

Me cos we've already seen the Gogglebox celeb thing.

I’m watching it. Not as much fun as Sonia tho

Wow thanks for this OP. I was 12 in 1989 - Jason Donovan was beautiful back in the day 😍

I was 15 in 1989, think I bought all these singles. Think I've missed the programme but it's on again at 1 am...set to record!

I'm watching the next doc. Kind of surreal seeing kids learn about a style of erstwhile popular dance that was long gone - apart from in nostalgia - before they were born.

I love disco btw but it happened a long time ago.

Gutted I missed this, I might try and find it on catch up.

Wow beegee with a Yorkshire accent. I mean of course he does but still ...

She'll pop up. Sonia seems to appear everywhere.

He doesn't have a Yorkshire accent! It's Australian crossed with Mancunian if anything.

Really glad Sonia wasn't in night fever. Can you imagine? "Gorra lorra lorra sequins"

'Y'aritttte chuck?'

All these acts were bloody awful. All of them. It was not a good time for chart music.

It sounds Yorkshire to me! In bits admittedly.

Glad they're talking about how raw the film is. It really is not a happy clappy piece. You forget until you see it again and then you're like woah this is dark.

You must be a Smiths fan?

she'd have been very peppy and bouncy to be sure!

Her earrings would have saved her though. They’d have got caught on the bridge.

A heads up that bbc4 have a xmas totp at 7pm everyday starting Monday. There is 1990, 1986, 1978, 1998 and 2002.

Thanks, I shall now force my kids to watch this as revenge for all the Olivia Rodrigo & Billie Eilish

Lol at Sonia's life saving earrings!

Is anyone else excited at seeing the actual street from travoltas staying alive walk??! That scene was so much of the 70s.

I’d far rather listen to Billie Eilish than Jason Donovan. He’s shit, Billie Eilish is much better.

John Travolta looks like he's dressed as a security guard

I had their first album too @Builtthiscityonsausagerolls I still sometimes listen to Stop it girl

Ahh wish I'd seen this just for the nostalgia rather than the quality of the music I remember all those acts, was 14, just before I developed a music taste!!

Full of misogyny too.
