Thompson Twins - Into The Gap

Thompson Twins on an early evening pop programme called Razzmatazz. It was presented by a hideous, over "yooful' bearded chap...on the tour for the this album, i met jo leeway, and enthusiastically explained to him that a better title might have been 'into the bap' and 'doctor, doctor, can't you see i'm vermin'. it wasn't appreciated...

Thanks for posting this...I'm in the audience on the stage. I'm the dodgy looking kid who's out of time and wearing a grey cardy with a Y on it.

thank the lord for spotify...just listened to judy do, which i only have on vinyl (signed of course!)...what a great track from a great album...i still loved when this came out, but they were already slipping in my humble opinion...

wow, check out that old school magic carpet...so slow, small with no amenities, and you didn't need a special permit to fly it back then, i had a friend Aubdul who flew around the neighborhood, he was only 12 years old!

Betcha didn't know people could fly in the 80s! Flying carpets were outlawed in 1990.

And we all know that this "hideous, over 'yooful' bearded chap", is Alistair Pirrie, who co-presented this programme with Lisa Stansfield.

@bluejeckett Y indeed!!..... It was a T V show called Razzamatazz that was shot at the Tyne Tees Television studio's. in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. They used to get the kids from schools around the North of England to use as the audience. As for the clapping, I remember there were that many takes my arms ached..
