"Hi ho silver" - Jim Diamond
Jim brings a very large backing band, cramming eight people onto the main stage. Darts from the last decade sit down, safe in the knowledge that their record is still safe.
Leather coat is not a great look for Jim, all the weight seems to be around his shoulder.
Theme from "Boon", taken from the album "Desire for Freedom", and Jim's final trip to the top ten.

I Should Have Known Better
Originally posted on December 1, 2020
This is very much a U.K. story, but it is a selfless act that all unfolded 40 years ago today. Jim Diamond was at #1 on the U.K. charts with ‘I Should Have Known Better’.
“I’m delighted to be at number one, but next week I don’t want people to buy my record; I want them to buy Band Aid instead”
Here is a song that went to #1 in the United Kingdom in late 1984. ‘I Should Have Known Better’ by Jim Diamond was massive in the U.K. I need to be completely honest here; I learned a lot as I was …
Jim Diamond performed "I should have known better" three times in the autumn.
He deliberately didn't sustan eye contact with the camera until the last chorus of the last performance. That's ballsy stagecraft.
Today? We're gazing into his tortured soul from the first verse.

Cold opens were the order on #TOTP 1986. Great how #JimDiamond is the centre of attention, even on such a crowded stage.
Just as #Landscape were a state-of-the-art video in 1981, the 1986 version's from #TheRollingStones. #PaulaAbdul will eat them for breakfast in a few years, when the tech catches up.
And, yes, The Stones on Radio 1. Think they're too old for Radio 2 now.
Very promising interview from #SimonMayo, crammed a lot into ten seconds. He's one to watch.
Our group declare to be true
