Such a weird alternate pop universe thing that Top of the Pops makes such a fuss over the debut of These Animal Men, trailing it at the start of the show, and fail to get at all excited over the debut performance of Oasis.

Today’s ‘films’ are nothing of the sort – so stop calling them that

Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans was the only best picture nominee this year actually shot on film. It’s time to stop misnaming movies, says the director John Boorman

The Guardian
Saw Prince live once. He turned up a couple of hours late which I guess is the sort of behaviour you want, like being insulted by Prince Philip (which has also happened to me)

Me and Tom Bailey from the Thompson Twins had the same English teacher, who owned this bus. Dull but true.

Totally love the "don't give a shit" choreography of these early #Bananarama performances #totp

So far Meatloaf hasn't made any unfunny topical jokes about Cabinet Ministers and third division footballers so an improvement on the normal presenter line-up #totp

Andi Peters presenting the show is like foreshadowing the means of the show's eventual destruction
