TOTP 9/9/82

[Neil Barker]

Did anybody see "Greatest Wannabe TV Moments" on Channel 5 tonight?

Apparently Simon Cowell dressed up in a dog costume to promote the minor hit "Ruff Mix" by Wonder Dog in '82, so they showed a tiny clip of Peter Powell introducing the 'song' on TOTP - presumably the 9/9/82 edition which some of us believe to have been wiped!

The quality was rather ropey, but as most BBC clips shown on Channel 5 tend to look pretty poor it may still reside in the BBC archives.

TOTP 9/9/82 most definitely has not been wiped, it was transferred to digital tape in 1996 and the master 2" was sent to the NFA. So if the C5 clip was iffy, it may well be because it's from a dubious source...
