Froggy's remix? An amphibian couldn't possibly reach all the twiddly bits on a mixing desk, you fool #totp

Remarkable how big a hit the Real Thing remixes were in the 80s, and yet nobody ever mentions them now. #TotP

Of course I was far too young to watch The Young Ones so this was effectively my only exposure to them #TotP

FIES MY SOUL! #TotP

COMPLETELY READY WHEN YOU ARE SHAKY #totp

"Really complex lyrics" is such a weird thing to say. #TotP

I've heard Mayo talk about his #totp debut and say how awful he was and he wasn't even looking at the right camera, and I used to think, Can't have been that bad, but... yeah, turns out it was.

In the entire history of #TotP, that's surely the worst way they ever did the chart rundown.

Who’s idea was it was to put the top 40 over a video with the hosts talking over? #TOTP

Remember this was the first single from the Stones album, which wouldn't seem to bode well for the rest of it. #TotP

Pretty sure that's Sam Brown on backing vocals (on stage, no idea if she's on the record) #TotP

A TV theme that didn't get to Number One. Obviously. #TotP

Oh dear. My wife just saw Jim Diamond, heard the first five seconds, sighed and changed the channel. "There might be something else on". #totp

If you wanted to see what immediately followed that edition have a look here #totp

Tony Blackburn was 40 years old in 1983. #TOTP

Has someone left the studio loading bay door open? #totp

I wonder if Bonnie's band drew lots to decide which one of them would pretend to be singing the "Turn Around" bit? #TotP

Orange Juice were on the shows either side of this, so we don't get to see them tonight. #TotP

Had #totp not been on strike, Joan would undoubtedly have been on for Me Myself I.

It's in my book, but Joan made a cameo in The Beano just after this was a hit. #totp

Although I must say, Joan, if we've already taken off we may need the pilot at some point. Just something for you to think about there. #totp

When you're playing bass for Joan Armatrading at 7:30 and playing 20:20 Cricket at 8 #TotP

Oh yes! Drop the Pilot is effing immense! Love Joan ❤️😄 #TOTP

A great song by Joan Armatrading #TOTP

Why do I need to hide from David Joseph? #TotP

It loses something when they're all in the same place #totp

It's very rare that I would find myself saying "better than the Beatles song of the same title" but Run For Your Life by Bucks Fizz is the one time I will say it. #TotP

I wonder if he used to wrap a session by saying A GEORGE MARTIN PRODUCTION like that bloke who used to say A QUINN MARTIN PRODUCTION on The Streets of San Francisco.

I think the European chart rundown they had to cut was between Mezzoforte and Ultravox #TotP

"And if you try to buy this in Iceland... they'll say no, it's 1983, we're still called Bejam and we don't sell records anyway. Try Boots The Chemist." #TotP

I guess Mezzoforte would have been the first Icelandic act to appear on #TotP?

Shakjavik #totp

Mezzoforte, the theme to everything in 1983. (Rockall by Mezzoforte was the theme to everything else in 1983.) #totp

I really like it when you speak like hedgehog #totp

Do not adjust your set #totp

For all that the Style Council were supposed to be a huge swerve, you could sing Just Who Is The Five O'clock Hero over this. #TotP

Lyrics that sound dodgy now klaxon #totp

Weird that Tony mentions Dame Vera Lynn as it’s the 109th anniversary of her birth today. #TOTP

And his dad was Hopkirk (Deceased) #totp fans.

It's safe to assume that Simon Fuller made more money from S Club 7 than he did from 21st Century Girls. #TotP

One of relatively few actual TV theme tunes to top the chart. #TotP

If we could actually hear it, Everything Is Everything is a pretty good song. #TotP

There's something I begrudgingly respect about Lauryn Hill releasing just one album and going "yeah that'll do" and never doing it again #totp

"All the way from Wembley" #TotP

All Or Nothing isn't a cover of the Small Faces song, although it wouldn't have been surprising. She did cover The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. #TotP

What, they didn't even spell their name with a "z"? Pah, rubbish. #totp

If you didn't remember that the Cartoons had a second hit you probably didn't remember Tatyana Ali had a third. #TotP

Mike Myers' brother was in the original line-up of Dave Howard Singers who had an indie hit in 1987 with "Yon Yonson". There you go. There's a non-chart fact for you. #totp youtu.be/yxT8hQ9cHJA?...

IIRC the first chart-eligible DVD single format. #TotP

To me, the late 90s is the peak hyped Madonna era, because she was a huge popstar again and she was being taken seriously again, *and* she was in the UK more. So I was bored of Beautiful Stranger as soon as I heard it, but I probably haven't heard it for about 15 years til now. #TotP
