What is the date/origin of this clip? It's driving me bonkers! It says on Totp2 it's from the 300th show but I think that's wrong. Could it be they have put the music onto footage from a different totp?  Yes, deliberately decieving it is too. The giveaway though should be the fact that some of the shots are repeated twice! The footage is from a 1971 edition but they merged it with The Archies' song. It did my head in as well when I first saw it but there is no officially surviving footage from the 23/10/69 TOTP edition at all (it wouldn't have been in colour either, being still a few weeks away). But the audience did dance to Sugar Sugar in that way though as I remember watching on such an occasion in 1969 (on other occasions they used the cartoon clip or the clip combined with audience shots). the 1971 hit was from sakkarin. |

The Chords performing "Something Missing" was on CPP on 19/5/80. Also on that show were Martha and the Muffins ("Saigon") and Rocky Sharpe and the Replays ("Teenager in Love"). only recall echo beach by martha and the muffins. |

Stephen, hope you caught "Be my Baby: the story of girl groups' on BBC1 tonight for plenty of archive Bananarama footage. It even included Cheggers interviewing them although I'm pretty sure this was in his roving reporter role on 'Swap Shop'. Good to see that they used some different archive stuff tonight; I'd totally forgotten about Susanna Hoffs appearing solo on Wogan. One particular performance I'm trying to locate from Cheggers Plays Pop is The Chords playing 'Something Missing' from around March 1980. According to their fan club diary, they rerecorded this single specifically for the show. Any info gratefully received. sorry no, i never saw it. |

Yes, it was the 1969 film version. I'm disappointed at my memory failing me, since I did see that version on TOTP back in 1973(?) when a re-release of Space Oddity got to No 1. Obviously the film rather than the soundtrack embedded itself in my memory! it WAS 1975. |
