I didn't, but I remember them at Glastonbury doing Golden Retriever dressed basically as yetis. Fair dues for commitment to the bit.

Yay! Super Furries! Also: Wizbit's let himself go. #TOTP
Shirley you can't be Bassey, more like #TOTP
Has the Geri Haliwell song ONLY JUST been released, or is there Gallup-riggin' shenanigans going on to get it up the charts again? They played it *weeks* ago. #TOTP

The only number 1 song about positioning a painting #totp
Why can't we just have five minutes of the good BSB instead? #TOTP
"Quick, get the picture back before Ms Elephant Head comes on and starts dancing" #TOTP
Are you mummy? #totp

Not a single 80s #TOTP tonight, lads.
Q. How often will this one be shown on #TOTP?
A.
Aim for looking like Liam Gallagher, land on looking like Joey Barton. #TOTP
Ha!
Actually, is *this* the shield?
"Here, play this arcade game."
"What does the flashing "INSERT COIN" mean?"
"Don't worry about that. Your character is the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Look, you're doing really well!"
You definitely would've had an awkward moment if asked about the tape measure, that's for sure!
I can imagine any WBD in the 80s would've been at least 45% Adrian Mole and Arthur Dent. Which, to be fair, are pretty low-maintenance costumes.
So, lots of parents send kids to school for World Book Day dressed as characters from *films* without any complaint, but I send mine in dressed as Wicked Willie and suddenly I'M the one being called in for "a chat"?
MY EYES.
Just put iPlayer on to catch it. Oof.
"Ooh, a £70k house in Birmingham. How bad can it bOH MY SWEET AND MERCIFUL LORD."
Let it be noted that at one time there was a nearly com-plete record. Jack had films of all his shows, but like the filmed and taped records of the Steve Allen and Johnny Carson years, they are all gone now—except for the few films Jack gave to Margie, Alexander King's widow, and, among a few others he gave away, those he turned over to the Kennedys for their archives. Much of the record was dated, of course, and of little value except to historians of one of the most important media of communication in his-tory. Jack realized this. So, after storing the films for years, he finally decided he could do so no longer. He began tip-ping his garbage man for picking up three films a visit. Jack still had fans. One day, the garbage man stopped by to say, "There was no sound on that last segment, Mr. Paar." The garbage man was showing the films to his family at home. His was perhaps the last family in America to see Jack Paar in his vintage period.
These days the phrase "lost media" can refer to something as tepid as an edition of Gat Fresh that doesn't happen to be on YouTube at the moment. For the strong stuff, you need to track down the descendants of Jack Paar's binman.
We're going to be doing 80s tech in todays world on @b3ta.com this week
Couldn't get it out of my head, so now it's on here.
Several earnest quotes posts about Iran appointing a three-person Leadership Council to run Iran in the interim.
Same, but with 80s pop culture responses.
The two types of Quote Post.
"Now, if he'd happened to fall out of a tower block window, or his plane just happened to explode..."
