Well Dixie got that right! We have been playing Band Aid at christmas 'for decades to come!'.

Just watching it now. Was Dixie Peach a regular presenter? I've never heard of him before, and I've looked at sites listing all TOTP presenters a few times in the past.

Bernie Michael joined Radio 1 in 1984, and was soon roped into TOTP presenting duties - he always seemed to enjoy hosting the show. His Radio 1 show was called "Midnight Runner". After leaving the station he was heard on CNFM and BFBS.

Oops Feargal Sharkey dropped his mike, his vocal was still coming through all right though, lol! And now Jonathan King has told us the top 5 biggest hits of 1985 in the US. Nice extra!

Thanks for that info Shakyfan. 10 appearances isn't that many really And I was only 2 at the time and my dad only got a VHS in 1987 and began taping TOTP then, so I wouldn't remember him from dad's archive either.
