Dinnertime pops included Adam Rickett (what did i see in him?), *N'Sync and Britney Spears in the same studio, a pointless Cameo cover, A1 giving that wolf a banana. And the Vengaboys, something something Basil Brush.

Evening, all.

Jennifer Lopez: outfit from C&A, net curtains from Littlewoods, probably playing in Safeway right now.

"A major dance anthem of this year" promises Gail Porter. ATB? Yeah, good call; still evocative of that summer, and the eclipse.

Our first #TOTP Mystery Year comes from the week when Aldo Moro, a former prime minister of Italy, was kidnapped and later murdered by the Red Brigades. Didier Drogba, a footballer, was born. The top movie was "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

The Hand-some Peter Powell hosts.

"Whenever you want my love" - The Real Thing (and charts)

"If you can't give me love" - Suzi Quatro

The prototype rock chick, in a tan shirt and wielding her guitar, with just enough of a country twang.

Is it too early to award Performance of the Night?

Or to mention that she's on tour next month as in april 2026?

"Is this love" - Bob Marley and the Wailers

Danced by Flick of the Wrist, all lace skirts and colourful bodices.

It's just ... wrong. On so many levels.
