Our group declare to be true

Dinner-time telly was a catch-up on Richard Osman's House of Games (3).

Absolutely cracking week, with Claire From Steps, Chris from the Glitterball, Adele from Radio 1, and wine expert Olly. Might be worth a look.

Our first #TOTP Mystery Year comes from the week when Doctor Who's Tegan and Nyssa disappeared into caves to, er, examine some paintings.

On other telly shows, Malcolm Muggeridge spent a week with Stalin's daughter, and Blue Peter made an everlasting bouquet of flowers as a very special present for Mothering Sunday.

Host for this live edition is Sir Simon Bates.

(and i must remember to invite people to stand for the national anthem)

"Go wild in the country" - Bow Wow Wow

The newest of New Wave music, and an early contender for Song of the Night.

Annabel cannot find a camera to save her life: she's always looking in just the wrong place. But it looks like the crowd was blocking the best angles, and that's a floor manager problem. And the perils of live television.

"It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it" - Fun Boy Three and Bananarama

The Fun Boy Three drop in to plug their spot on "Round table", Radio 1's singles review show. That's after Newsbeat at 5.45 tomorrow.

Their video shows the things you can do in the London subways...

The groups had been in the studio two weeks earlier, the Nanas had been working on their dance routine.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

"See you" - Depeche Mode

Do they seem a bit lost on the large stage? Or are they waiting for Glenn Hoddle to turn up and shoot a goal through the proscenium arch?

Third time we'd seen all three of these songs, they'd risen up the charts like bubbles in custard. Something less-well remembered next...
