TOTP

[NooNakedJacuzziness]

There's a whole night of 80s TOTPs on BBC4 tonight until about 1am. I'm in my happy place - we've had Madonna, Wham and Duran Duran with lots more to come

Ooh Bangles! Was the leader singer called Rosanna Hoff? I had a crush on the blonde drummer!

Suzannah Hoffs I think. I love the bangles.

Susanna Hoffs - I think every single man my age was very seriously in lust with her.

It’s really interesting watching Susannah song. She’s famous for the sideways looks, and that’s all she does. One side to the other - like she’s making sure she’s photographed exactly how she wants to be. It certainly worked for her!

For some reason known only to DH, I am currently instead watching a 1978 TOTP in which Legs and Co are inexplicably dancing with a panto camel...

They have!

Early Squeeze?

Take me I'm yours (I'd ride across the desert just to greet you with a smile, my camel looks so tired...)

There were no lyrics to whatever the ' cool music from the hit scene' (I quote Kid Jensen) was..

Arrghh, DH made me watch The Traitors … am going to have to catch up .. I was the weirdly tall one if anyone was watching .. x

Oh lovely Roland Gift. I saw him in Romeo & Juliet with the Hull Truck Theatre Company - Edinburgh Festival 1990. He was v good - and v gorgeous.

I think Kim Wilde and Frank 'n; Furter have the same make up artist!

1984 was definitely the best year. So many good songs.

I bet those girls don't know where to look with that plastic red codpiece at eye level 😆

Oh the cod piece!!

Oh Phil, be still my beating ♥

I was thinking more Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers and Egyptian Reggae?

Yes, that was it!

Oh I'm loving this - 1987 so definitely in my clubbing vintage. I turned it on in the middle of Rick Ashley followed by Curiosity Killed the Cat. Fab!

I want Belinda Carlisle's hair

Marti Pellow and his excited little boy dance 😍

Loving it

God yes don’t we all!

Weren’t The Cure amazing! Boys don’t cry 😍
Oh and The Bee gees

I was baffled that Boys Don’t Cry was in 86, but apparently they rereleased it. But yes they were great.

Really enjoying it an hoping they do a 90s next week!

Piggy 🤣
