i have a question, do you remember
when they showed michael jackson's bad on TOTP in 1987 the first time, do you know if it was the 10 minute movie version or just the pop video version !!

I admit I don't remember if TOTP showed the full version of the "Bad" video, but I do remember that Channel 4 had the exclusive on that and premiered it one night at gone 11pm. I know because me and my Mum watched it and at the end of it, we felt like I did this morning having just heard the new Kate Bush record... crushingly disappointed! This was also the same feeling that was amongst all my schoolfriends who watched this "exclusive" as well.

Its possible TOTP showed the whole film, but I doubt it since Channel 4 had that exclusive. Since then, TOTP have had most of the exclusives and given show time and space to the new videos. MJ has also donated "exclusives" to TOTP such as Christmas messages of which theres one on the Xmas day 1994 edition which is sitting somewhere in my video archive and I do recall TOTP making big fusses over several singles in the 1990s which they premiered. I just always recall the Channel 4 premiere which has clouded out any possible memory of it being shown on TOTP. There was much attention because of the Martin Scorcese involvement and the fact it was the first sighting of MJ since the hair fire incident. It was very evident and noticeable that he had much surgery done because me and my Mum just looked at him in the video in horror and we asked ourselves "what has he done to himself?" It sure made a big impact but probably for the wrong reasons!
