; Comments
*This was the seventh program hosted by John Peel in 1982, featuring a US chart rundown from Jonathan King. This was the week's singles chart.
*On his radio show that night John Peel announced of that evening's appearance "If you were watching Top Of The Pops, the Pig chose that jumper for me. I thought I looked kinda cuddly myself, but er, I won't take a vote on it."
*At No.8 that’s Mari Wilson and the boys and girls of the village, “Just What I Always Wanted”. And now I think the moment that we’ve all secretly been looking forward to in our heart of hearts, this is Barry Manilow!
*That’s Bazza. Barry Manilow. Don’t you just love him, eh? Very pleased to see this next act on TOTP ‘cos Kid Jensen and Peter Powell and myself have been playing their records for years. They’re excellent. Making their debut on the programme... Tears For Fears!
*About 12 years ago, America turned up at my flat at about 3 o’clock in the morning wanting to sing me some of their songs and I told them where to go. I still think I made the right decision. These are The Pinkees!
*That’s Melba Moore and “Love’s Comin’ At Ya”... whatever that means! Perhaps it’s best we don’t know. Now we go to No.30, The Pretenders and Zoo. 63 legs in harmony!
*That’s “Reap The Wild Wind”... in purely agricultural terms rather a fatuous exercise! These two just came up with the Mary Rose... look well on it! Back to the charts.
*Back to No.14 for this week’s highest new entry – these are The Beatles. This one’s for you, Pig.
*…and at 2, “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?”, the Culture Clubs. The Culture Clubs is just my little joke... don’t write to me about it! Still No.1 and rightly so... Musical Youth!
