Trivia
Mike Smith, who passed away in 2014, chose not to sign the licence extension that would allow the BBC to repeat TOTP episodes he presented. The BBC continues to honour his wishes, so this episode hasn’t been repeated on TV since 2011.
The iconic neon Top of the Pops logo makes its final appearance in the TOTP studio. It was a regular feature in almost every TOTP episode from 21st January 1982 until this episode.
