Thanks for telling us. I'm excited too. Do you remember the
Tony James quotation from back when Sigue Sigue Sputnik were
going to be the saviours of rock'n'roll? Something along the
lines of "whenever I watch Top of the Pops it's like
sticking your head in the fridge hoping to find a nice can
of lager and finding it empty except for a cold fish". I
hope B&S insist on being introduced by Jimmy Saville "...now
then, now then, what have we got here, ladies and gentlemen,
what have we got? Some guys and gals from Bonnie
Scotland....it's Belle.. (puffs on cigar)..and Sebastian!
Uhohuhuhoh!!!...." Of course, it won't be complete unless
Stuart forgets the words...

Since when was TOTP on Fridays instead of Thursdays? Bloody
Tony Blair!
