  3. Oooh. Quick appearance by the future Rev'd, Richard Coles on keys there. #TOTP #TheCommunards

  4. The key change in Don’t Leave Me This Way by The Communards is the best key change in pop. I shall be taking no further questions at this time.

  5. "Don't leave me this way" - The Communards

    Second week at number one, and a new studio performance, here Jimmy starts on the same stage as Richard and Sarah-Jane.

    The big brass section get their moment in the spotlight, and there's a lovely lighting effect during the "aaaaaaah" - all the neon freezes on and the lights stop flashing.

  6. Evening, all.

    The Queen of England, Janice Long, and the Rt. Rev. Simon Mayo host this edition. Janice returns from her maternity leave.

    Jimmy is in smart white shirt and cream trousers; Richard has a dark jacket over a message t-shirt; the studio is lit in a very nice gold light.

    Who in this mystery year would have put *Richard Coles* as the celebrity vicar from this lot?

  9. Two of the year's biggest hits end this show - Boris Gardner and The Communards.

    Viewed through modern eyes, Boris was a bit creepy.

    The Communards evoke Orwell's "1984" through the framing of the 1983 film of "1984".
