made her Top Of The Pops debut

0:08:150:08:17

and she went all the way to number two with Silly Games.

0:08:170:08:20

0:08:500:08:54

# For so long, it's a shame

0:08:540:08:58

# Oh, baby

0:09:000:09:03

# Every time I hear your name

# Cos every time we meet

0:09:220:09:26

# We play hide and seek

0:09:260:09:30

# I'm wondering what I should do

0:09:300:09:35

# Should I, dear, come up to you

0:09:350:09:40

# And say, how do you do?

0:09:400:09:44

# Wouldn't you turn me away?

0:09:460:09:51

# You're as much to blame

0:09:540:09:58

# Cos I know you feel the same

0:09:580:10:01

# I can see it in your eyes

0:10:020:10:10

0:10:540:10:56

# It's a tragedy

0:10:560:10:59

# That you hurt me

0:11:010:11:05

# We don't even try

0:11:060:11:11

# You're as much to blame

0:11:140:11:18

0:17:110:17:13

# I hope and pray

0:17:150:17:17

It's a Tragedy.

And yet more memories are made of hits.

0:34:470:34:49

The Bee Gees' Tragedy was danced to, of course, by the

0:34:490:34:51

-ever effervescent Legs & Co and...

-My turn and some attraction he was.

0:34:510:34:55

Over to Elvis Costello and The Attractions and Oliver's Army.

0:34:550:34:58

# Don't start that talking

0:35:080:35:12

# There was a checkpoint Charlie

0:35:490:35:53

# He didn't crack a smile

0:35:530:35:56

# London is full of Arabs

0:36:330:36:36

# We could be in Palestine

0:36:360:36:40

# Overrun by a Chinese line

0:36:400:36:43

# With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

0:36:430:36:48

# But there's no danger

0:36:480:36:52

# It's a professional career

0:36:520:36:56

# Though it could be arranged

0:36:560:36:58

# With just a word in Mr Churchill's ear

0:36:580:37:02

# If you're out of luck or out of work

0:37:020:37:05

Lena Martell, of course.

0:40:480:40:49

And now, it's Peter Powell and his rendition of One Hit At A Time.

0:40:490:40:53

It'll cost you. At least a drink of that water, anyway.

0:40:530:40:56

Right, moving on. One hit for Squeeze, such a good hit too.

0:40:560:40:59

It's Cool For Cats.

0:40:590:41:01

# The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass

0:41:010:41:04

# The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass

0:41:040:41:07

# The squaw is with the corporal She is tied against the tree

0:41:070:41:11

# She doesn't mind the language It's the beating she don't need

0:41:110:41:14

# She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep

0:41:140:41:17

# And he wakes to find the fires dead and arrows in his hats

0:41:170:41:21

# And Davy Crockett walks around and says it's cool for cats

0:41:210:41:24

-# It's cool for cats

0:42:050:42:08

# But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash

0:42:080:42:11

# And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had

0:42:110:42:15

# And everybody tells me it's cool to be a cat

OK, it's time for our Christmas cuddle spot, I think.

And yet another major success for Dr Hook

0:45:260:45:28

and When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman.

0:45:280:45:31

And next up, someone blonde and very, very good looking.

0:45:310:45:35

-Hi!

-Not you.

0:45:350:45:36

Blondie and Dreaming.

0:45:360:45:38

# When I met you in the restaurant

0:46:020:46:06

# You could tell I was no debutante

0:46:080:46:12

# You asked me what's my pleasure

0:46:150:46:18

# A movie or a measure?

0:46:180:46:21

# I'll have a cup of tea

0:46:210:46:24

# And tell you of my dreaming

0:46:240:46:27

# Dreaming is free

0:46:290:46:32

# Dreaming

0:46:320:46:33

# Dreaming is free

0:46:350:46:37

# I don't want to live on charity

0:46:380:46:42

# Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

0:46:440:46:48

# Reel to reel is living rarity

0:46:500:46:54

# People stop and stare at me

0:46:540:46:57

# We just walk on by

0:46:570:47:00

# We just keep on dreaming

0:47:000:47:03

# Feet, feet, walking a two mile

0:47:050:47:08

# Meet, meet, meet me at the turnstile

0:47:080:47:10

# I never met him

0:47:100:47:13

# I'll never forget him

0:47:130:47:16

# Dream, dream, even for a little while

0:47:160:47:19

# Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour

0:47:190:47:22

# Fade away

0:47:220:47:25

# Whoo, radiate

0:47:250:47:31

# I sit by and watch the river flow

0:47:310:47:35

# I sit by and watch the traffic go

0:47:370:47:41

# Imagine something of your very own

0:47:430:47:47

# Something you can have and hold

0:47:470:47:50

# I'd build a road in gold

0:47:500:47:53

0:48:100:48:12

A double Christmas bonus.

0:48:120:48:14

It's Debbie Harry, Blondie and Dreaming.

0:48:140:48:16

And I'm pleased to announce that Gary Numan and Tubeway Army

0:48:160:48:19

are back with their number one that must surely go down

0:48:190:48:21

in the rock annals as a real classic.

0:48:210:48:23

It is, of course, Are 'Friends' Electric?

0:48:230:48:26

# It's cold outside

0:48:290:48:31

# And the paint's peeling off of my walls

0:48:350:48:37

# There's a man outside

0:48:400:48:41

# In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

0:48:450:48:48

# Now the light fades out

0:49:100:49:12

# And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this

0:49:160:49:18

# There's a knock on the door

0:49:210:49:22

# And just for a second I thought I remembered you. #

0:49:260:49:29

So now I'm alone, where I can think for myself...

0:49:510:49:54

..about little deals and SUs.

0:49:560:49:59

Things that I just don't understand,

0:49:590:50:01

like a white lie that night

0:50:010:50:04

or a sly touch at times.

0:50:040:50:05

I don't think it meant anything to you.

0:50:090:50:11

APPLAUSE

0:50:320:50:35

Moody stuff there from Gary Numan and Tubeway Army

0:50:370:50:39

and no doubt we'll be hearing lots more from them in the 1980s, wouldn't you say?

0:50:390:50:42

I hope so, Kid. What about some legs, we haven't seen any legs on the show yet.

0:50:420:50:45

-Well, I've got...

-No, not your legs.

0:50:450:50:47

Some much prettier legs and some good time party music

0:50:470:50:50

with Racey and Some Girls.

0:50:500:50:51

# Some girls will

0:51:040:51:07

# Some girls won't

0:51:070:51:09

# Some girls need a lot of lovin' and

0:51:090:51:12

# Some girls don't

0:51:120:51:15

# Well, I know I've got the fever but

0:51:150:51:17

# I don't know why

0:51:170:51:20

# Some say they will and some girls lie

0:51:200:51:22

# So here I am in front of you

0:51:250:51:28

# Not really knowing what to do

0:51:280:51:30

# My heart is feeling something new

0:51:300:51:33

# Nervously I turn away from you

0:51:330:51:36

# I see those looks you're sending me

0:51:360:51:38

# Is this the way it's meant to be?

0:51:380:51:41

# It's something we should talk about

0:51:410:51:44

# Just give me time to work it out

0:51:440:51:46

# Some girls will

0:51:460:51:49

0:52:020:52:07

# I find your company to be

0:52:070:52:10

# Something completely new to me

0:52:100:52:12

# Now that I know you socially

0:52:120:52:15

# Obviously, I'll fall heavily

0:52:150:52:18

# I've seen those looks you're sending me

0:52:180:52:20

# Is the way it's meant to be?

0:52:200:52:23

# There's nothing left to talk about

0:52:230:52:25

# Oh, how I wish you'd work it out

0:52:250:52:28

# Some girls will

0:52:280:52:31

It's getting hot and good in here, I'll tell you.

0:54:070:54:09

And so that was Racey with Some Girls.

0:54:090:54:11

And it was several girls who went out and bought this next record.

0:54:110:54:13

It went to number one and it stayed there for four weeks.

0:54:130:54:16

Cliff Richard's We Don't Talk Anymore.

0:54:160:54:18

# Used to think that life was sweet

0:54:360:54:41

# Used to think we were so complete

0:54:410:54:45

# I can't believe

0:54:450:54:48

# You'd throw it away

0:54:480:54:50

# Used to feel we had it made

0:54:530:54:58

# Used to feel we could sail away

0:54:580:55:02

# Can you imagine

0:55:020:55:05

# How I feel today

0:55:050:55:07

# Well, it seems a long time ago

0:55:100:55:14

# You were the lonely one

0:55:140:55:17

# Now it comes to letting go

0:55:190:55:22

# You are the only one

0:55:220:55:26

# It's down to you now

0:56:330:56:35

# You want to be free
