"Living doll" - Cliff Richard and The Young Ones
Ooh, different opening rap from Rik, the one where he mentions Keith Chegwin. That's the second time he's cropped up in tonight's thread.
Silly, funny, entertaining, and great. Comic Relief singles may have peaked already.

"Carrie" - Cliff Richard
Peter says, "We don't talk any more about Cliff not having hits."
Very droll, Peter, very good.
To me, Cliff Richard and Freddie Mercury always seemed an unlikely pair of friends.
The thing I didn't know was that Richard was born in India and because of his accent and complexion he, strangely, faced anti-Indian racism when his family moved back to Britain.
Freddie Mercury's family was from India and he was educated there in a British type boarding school. When he fled to Britain with his family from Zanzibar he also had to deal with racism.
So Cliff and Freddie actually had a weirdly shared/similar background.
I think they only performed together once, singing It's In Everyone of Us as part of a charity performance of the musical Time back in 1988.
