Top of the Pops

So a momentous show last time with The Jam arriving, and there’s an equally effervescent 45 from this new rock phenomenon called the new wave in this edition as The Stranglers make their debut. The quality of the disco had also skyrocketed from the previous week too, with Martyn Ford and Honky being replaced by Heatwave and The Jacksons. We also very much enjoyed Kid doing a link while riding on a camera because it reminded us of him in his floating armchair on Worldwise. Can anyone put any record of that on YouTube?
Another vote here for some evidence of Worldwise – it was my favourite programme when it was on. Particularly when they crossed the International Dateline to Anchorage – it seemed so exciting.
My brother really liked it as well.
It was interesting to hear of places like Tashkant, the Galapagos Islands & Winnipeg for the first time.
