Wondering if the audience on TOTP ever discovered new music

[PermanentTemporary]

Watching Ian McCullough singing and looking like a God on TOTP in 1984 and wondering if anyone who ended up in the audience became an instant fan.

The audience always looked as if they were unfamiliar with the concept of music tbh.

I wasn't n the audience, but saw the Cure on TOTP when I was 12 and it changed my musical direction forever!

I was in the audience in 1991, I saw Shakespeare Sister, INXS and Little Angels, I was 15 and loved it and really like Little Angels the drummer asked me if I wanted to go for a drink afterwards until I told him I was 15!
