Number 86: Where are you all coming from? "We're from Dartmoor on the run" I9SDEKlCCqE That's more like it. The kings of parody & having a go at some of the worse songs of 1978. It was Number 3 in December 1978....where the whole Christmas top 10, sold over a million combined & in any other year, the Knights would of sold enough weekly sales to be Christmas Number One! It sold 613,000 copies.

Number 87: Them Swedes again -crgQGdpZR0 Number One in February 1978 & 609,000 sold.

Number 88: Alley alley O R0SMNZhYm2A Not the original Brian (he was a comedian). This one was a dead ringer for Columbo. Did he have a glass eye? Looked like it. Either way it was caught up in Easter sales with Blondie & Gerry Rafferty. They lost out, Brian & Michael didn't unfortunately & they sold 604,880 copies.

Number 89: Robin Scott's M...looking like they'd come off "Wonder Woman" on TV, with there identification discs! Avvh5H-EPWU Number 2 in May 1979 & 602,490 sold.

Number 90: Elvis. No not that one! Ow1S4DJtLOk Number 2 in March 1979 & 590,000 sold.

Number 91: The Quo FbQ7HwjR-nk Number 3 in October 1977 & 587,670 sold

Here's a show you may like to listen too on a weekly basis. The new show is uploaded to the same links every Friday morning. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/erkbplexjyn62p0/...Top_Pops_01.mp3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/erkbplexjyn62p0/...Top_Pops_02.mp3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/erkbplexjyn62p0/...Top_Pops_03.mp3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/erkbplexjyn62p0/...Top_Pops_04.mp3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/erkbplexjyn62p0/...Top_Pops_05.mp3 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/erkbplexjyn62p0/...Top_Pops_06.mp3 Each week the present, future & past join together. This week the old chart is 1979.

I dare say we'll be able to see those shows somewhere. On the point of editing out Presenters. Where as it might work now. It won't later, as the chart was later read out by the presenter in the show was it not? Think they need to get some balls & show them anyway. A late night 2am slot, shouldn't get complaints on a low key channel like BBC4. Plus what DLT has actually done is nothing compared to others & the Savile (well) that's just a bunch of people, with little actual evidence against a dead bloke, who can never be tried. And on some channels they show Hitler every night & various other dangerous dead criminals. Thne there's adverts, where a young office girl goes off with a balding actor (that resembles Gary Glitter). Double Standards? I think so & Sky TV too! And with Mark Williams Thomas about to make another thrown together programme, trying to pull Top Of The Pops apart. It's likely to be taken off altogether & I dare say it'll disappear from the Christmas schedules forever, as an air-brained ex-detective tries to make some more money to aid himself, in his pauper ex-dick pension. A man that should also be taken in, as all he really wants is money. He don't care about anyone, really. Would he be interested in child protection, if he weren't getting paid for it? I doubt it. Don't see him giving to any charity or raising money for any neither.
