Trivia
After Elkie Brooks performed "Fool If You Think It's Over," she was approached backstage by a fan, who she soon realised was in fact Chris Rea incognito, asking for her autograph.
The original broadcast of this episode included a look at the US charts with Jonathan King, appearing via satellite in the US. BBC Four repeats since 2012 have edited out references to Jonathan King and the US charts section.
