@clanger9 When the phone calls failed, they went to the lad in the grey cardigan sitting two to Sarah's left.

"How many countries have you released records in?" asks the flop-haired youth. Good question. Lots of them.

"So there's nowhere left for you to go?" he cheekily asks.

Not the last time he'd be on telly. He's the primetime entertainer Michael McIntyre.

And winners of Best British Group have a message for Peter Powell:

"Stay out of my life" - Five Star

More synchronised dancing: it's white leather-plastic suits, perhaps a bit too tight in the leg, with the band's trademark massive shoulder-wings.

The song is light and disposible, sold with all the band's abilities, and i still enjoy the key change of joy towards the end.

Remember them this way, it's all downhill from here.

"Rain or shine" - Five Star

The twee video with its cosy animations, and a twee song that became the group's biggest hit.

The two-dimensional background and three-dimensional performer reminded me of the Paddington cartoons they used to have on before the news.

Now, is this better than the 90s pop group? Hmm. No. I'll give it to Five.

"Find the time" - Five Star

"System addict" but not as good: jerky staccato beats, synthesised brass stabs, and synchronised dancing.

Note something strange about the picture here: the green's been removed almost entirely. It brings out the red-and-white jumpsuits worn by all the members of Five Star, and it shows the lights in the background in an unusual blue tinge.

"Roses are red" - The Mac Band Featuring The McCampbell Brothers.

Four of them dancing and gyrating around. It's the new sound of hip-hop: clearly more stuttery and rap-influenced than two years ago, but still smooth and affectionate.

Can you hear this, Five Star? This is what you should be making, this is how good you should be.
