1978. The year after the Queen’s silver jubilee. And that’s about it. Three whole channels of televisual entertainment could be everyone’s for the low, low price of the licence fee, such entertainment to include, of course, Top of the Pops. Excluding all the bits featuring convicted-by-public-opinion paedophiles and sexual predators, it’s still wonderful to go back and look at some of the performances now. Here, have an audio/video threesome!

Are the BBC really broadcasting bad VHS transfers of ancient TOTPs?
I watched the middle one of those three cos I’ve still got that album on vinyl and it brought back memories of a time when even VHS was cutting edge tech.
