A pity about the sound block at 1.41. It reminds me even the jingles were good in the 80s. No such luck now. Impossible to aquire this song now sadly.
@MultiShriek Big Deal will finaly be getting a cd release on the upcoming Bucks Fizz Writing On The Wall 25th Anniversary Ultimate edition-released 10th April 2012-includes 7" & 12" 86 versions
Just shows how far technology has come. I brought this single when it first came out, the only trouble is that when I went to my local record shop for a new stylus the young shop assistant had a blank look on her face and had to call the Manager as she thought I was joking...
He was gorgeous then and is still gorgeous now. Would sell my soul to see him back with Jay, Cheryl and Mike just for a few dates its not the same without him :(
Still sounds like a Bucks Fizz song. Please Bobby, just for a few dates for the 30th Anniversary next year you MUST reunite with Jay ,Mike & Cheryl ,would be a sin not too!!!!
Like nothing else, Youtube takes you back to times and places that you thought you'd never see or hear again. The emotion that can be evoked takes you unawares.
shergar, you are so right. What a lovely comment. Big Deal is one of those programmes, like Minder, that take you back, as you say, and encapsulate moments and feelings like few others. I loved Bug Deal, and I loved Sharon Duce and Ray Brooks.
bobby did release this as a single for the tv series just didnt do that well unfortunately a great song though , yeah he was good looking but Mike Nolan was more good looking!!
You're right. It was released as a single when the TV series 'Big Deal' was running in 1984 and 1985. On both occasions, it made the top 75 but never cracked the top 40 and hence did not get much airplay.
I could not understand why the successful TV show 'Big Deal' did not help this song into the charts. Both in 1984 and 1985, it entered the top 75 but never made it to the top 40.
Where did you find this out, i've been looking for this info for ages. I Agree that this song should have been more successful and I want Bobby G's unreleased album to appear! But Bucks Fizz were beginning to lose popularity at this time which probably damaged this song's chance at success.
totally agree emily. Ray Brooks is one of those really really good actors, like Patrick Malahide, that never get the credit they deserve. Sharon Duce is another one. I'd have married Sharon Duce if she'd had any sense.
Bobby Gee deserved more credibility...

this could be from Pebble Mill at One 23 November 1984 according to the BBC database.
