this song has one moment of genius: the interval way down to "I loved you too". Very clever. I bet she rightly got rather excited when she worked out how good that sounded.

Never mind Pino Palladino's bass line, what about the slap-bass solo in the middle? It's a song that tells a story: an absolute masterpiece.

What rubbish from goofysmick and waster1976. MacGowan came on this programme because he likes Danny Baker. That's because Danny Baker is both generous-spirited and unusual in that he listens to what his guests say and responds to it.

Danny Baker is right: TOTP died because the BBC decided to give it and their attitude to music generally a PC agenda.

When was the last time you saw a funny pop video like this? Why do musicians take themselves so seriously nowadays?

I wish someone like Clare Grogan worked in my office. I would be much happier about coming to work.

These 3 are the best documentaries I've seen in years. Pacey and fascinating.

She said, "I can't even think of anything to say". Not a great line. But a wonderful film.

Fair enough: good point about Straub taking it up early; clearly it was a great run by Coe. One final point: I rate Ovett's gold slightly higher by virtue of coming first: we know for sure that both men had equal hunger on that day at least.

How wise the words of Ovett: "You should enjoy us while we're here". Indeed. No British athletes have come close to matching these feats in the 30 years since. Interest in athletics is far lower than it was in the 70s and 80s: the inspirational figures aren't there.

Fascinating. I'd like to have been born in 1945. I grew up in the 80s, which was good, but one gets the feeling that the 60s would have been better: a time of bewildering change.

I wrote this song. It came to me in a dream, like what happened to Coleridge with Kubla Khan.

I wish young people in Britain were still like that. No wonder we had so much respect around the world in the 50s and 60s,

In many ways, he was at the height of his powers at this time, in that everyone in Britain had finally caught up with him.

This is the game that introduced me to pinball in the slotmachine arcade in Ramsey, Isle of Man, in the early 70s. It was 2p a game. As far as I recall, it was about 1500 for a free game. I was incredibly pleased when I finally won a free game based on score (rather than a match with the final...

He really was the king of the footy anthem chant. Leeds fans used to sing, Hello, Hello United are Back

This is brilliant. I'm going to try and learn it on the guitar.

"I know I'm not superhip".... but we know you are!

What's the fishing like in that area?

reminds me a bit of Hit me With your Rhythm Stick, especially the Sax solos.

They used to sing never walk alone at every home game in the early 80s. Can't vouch for the 70s I wasn't there.

Strangely similar video to Don't Try to Stop It by Roman Holliday which I have just watched.

@SCOUSEJAYERE It's like a library as you say: The people who turn up now are getting a much worse experience for their 20 quid than the fellers in the video were getting for their 2 bob.

it isn't dated. It has a huge amount to teach "modern" rap people about how to be interesting with rhythm.

not as good as I remember

The feller can certainly sing a bit

True quality. Wish I'd seen Roman Holliday live.

Brilliant. Wish I'd seen them live.

I miss the 80s badly.

Brilliant, wish I'd seen them live.

Noddy Holder not only had a phenomenal voice, he also had a lot soul. The middle eight has some great rhythms.
