I went on 'Cheggers Plays Pop'
when I was a kid. We lost, mostly 'cos the complicated rack and pinion hoist thing used in the opening game wasn't working properly on our side. I got my question right in the Hot Box Quick Quiz though, thus ensuring that the honour of the school was not completely left in tatters.

Got close enough to the then dreamy Clare Grogan to catch the faint waft of Impulse body spray, so it wasn't a total loss.


I got a real insight into how television worked that day, especially when Bucks Fizz didn't even bother to turn up, but filmed a VT instead. When it was broadcast it looked like they were in the studio and we were all dancing in the aisles. I never got to see Jay Aston and Cheryl Baker. Television is built on a tissue of lies.

Edit: Creeping deja vú leads me to think I may have answered this with the same reply back in 2004, but can't be arsed to check.
