- “At 20 it’s good old Shaky – “Teardrops”.
- “At 13, one of my favourites – “Do The Conga”, Black Lace.”
- “Everything Must Change for Paul Young stayed at No.9. But emphatically, emphatically!”
- “We’ve done No.10, we’ve done No.9, now we move inexorably up to No.8 – Tears For Fears!”
- “Last time I saw these they were at the Belle in Houghton. Now at No.5 in the charts – The Toy Dolls!”
