If they showed this on TV nowadays, practically everyone under the age of 30 wouldn't have a clue who Sparks were. I always thought Ron Mael, (the real one), with his Hitler 'tache and permanent scowl was quite scary, watching them on TOTPs, back in the day.

@JFredUK I'm 29, perhaps there are a few exceptions ;0)

Vik & Bob are comedy gold. Always have been and i cannot understand why theyre not on telly as much. I would rather watch repeats of Big Night Out than the typical shite on TV now. Even though I know exactly whats going to happen it would still be more entertaining.

@JFredUK I love both Shooting Stars and Sparks, I wish it were shown more often, and I'm nineteen! (Sorry to be that whingy YouTube user who brags about their taste in music/telly and their age). He WAS scary, but kind of weirdly funny at the same time ...

@ofrichmahogany Good on you, and all the others who've replied to my comment on this video. You are the exceptions to the rule. Well done.
