Talk:Bucks Fizz

message: The article states that Jay was the first to "leave" the band, but I seem to recall that there was quite a controversy at the time, a legal case, claims that she was assaulted. The "leaving" was extremely acrimonious.
Indeed the split was acrimonious, in as much as Jay had fucked Andy Hill (Producer)who tyen fired her.  Mind Jay was the only one with any real talent.  'The Fizz' would have been nothing without her, that Cheryl Baker should be grateful to Jay, even though she was vile about Jay!! The old cow.
I seem to recall that Mike Nolan actually went through the windscreen on the bus, and although coming close to death, due to head injuries, made a good recovered, but suffered from epilepsy.
The band was manufactured, for the Eurovision Song Contest, each member of the group was contracted on a fixed wage (IIRC) of £40,000 a year. Even at that time was not a lot of money. There was some controversy regarding their win, as the song alone was supposed to be judged (not the performance).  The act of ripping off the skirts (to reveal a mini-skirt) was considered a factor in their (slim) win.        —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.151.191 (talk) 22:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Please correct your eyesight! This is most definitely Bucks Fizz (l-r: Mike Nolan, Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston and Bobby G). I am very familiar with both groups, thank you. --Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not the right photo 

message: i always think "fuck bizz" when i'm actually reading or hearing "bucks fizz". where does the name stem from? is this really a coincidence?
:A "buck's fizz" is a cocktail: champagne and orange. I'm surprised the article doesn't mention this. Grievous Angel (talk) 07:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Band Name 

message: According to its Wikipedia article, the Falkland Islands has a population of just over 3000 people. No, I don't know whether that includes the military base, but even so...
I can just about buy that they'd do a show there, but a "tour" on a sparsely-populated archipelago of 3000 people. Seriously? No.
I'm getting visions of some Father Ted meets Spinal Tap-esque scenario with them playing to ten people and twice as many sheep. Ubcule (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yes. Not sure if it was me who put that line in, but it was just a show entertaining the Falklands troops (maybe part of a tour, but the other dates were elsewhere!) - either way, I do know that the info comes from the Trouble at the Top documentary as transmitted by BBC in 2002 - the ref comes in the next sentence.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 03:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I suspect it wasn't a "tour" of the Falklands as such. The troop show makes sense (I'd suspected it might have had something to do with that), but even then I doubt there were enough of them to warrant a multi-show tour of the Falklands themselves(!) Ubcule (talk) 00:12, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Watched the documentary over Christmas for the first time in a while and sure enough it does refer to it as a tour of the Falklands. From the footage shown however it seems that it was several nights at the same military base. Either way, it doesn't really matter as the article is correct as it currently stands - he quit after a show in the Falklands, how many nights is irrelevant.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 16:18, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Van Day quit the group during a '''tour''' of '''the Falklands'''"...seriously?!

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A fair bit of this article covers the dispute between the two bands Bucks Fizz and The Fizz, and obviously their stories are very much linked, but I feel there are problems about featuring both on the same article.  Should "The Fizz" not have their own article?   Combining them makes the article rather confusing.  For instance, what is Bobby G doing on the picture for The Fizz?  Which band is referred to when a picture is labelled "the band" ?
The legal dispute has made it clear they are different bands, so they should have separate articles.  Thoughts? --Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:25, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you're probably right. The Fizz have had a fair bit of notability on their own, so a split is probably about right, given that the article keeps expanding. Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:43, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
