Spandau Ballet with the video to "I'll fly for you". It's evidence that the band's in tax exile this year, and seems to include footage from a movie that has little to do with the song. And, gosh, this song really does drag on quite badly, the middle eight comes as a welcome break.

"Parade" came through my bedroom wall a lot in late 1984: thanks, sis.

"I'll fly for you" is an absolute corker. Sax solo, brooding verse, slightly menacing pre-chorus, and an instantly catchy chorus.

The band has co-ordinated its outfits, Tony Hadley in red shirt and black trews, everyone else is in combinations of red, black, and white.

Tony always knows where to find the camera, even when it's at his feet and being obscured by balloons in the crowd.

Spandau Ballet have turned up in full force, aided by a sax section (Beggar & Co from earlier in the year), for "Chant no 1 (I don't need this pressure on)". The camera gazes up, Tony stares down at it. Excellent direction, though it's a slight shame TOTP never grew out of "adoring shots of Tony Hadley" like its audience did.

We end with video clips from the top ten. At the top, The Specials, and the video for "Ghost town".

are back! "Only when you leave" the new single, "Parade" the album. Tony Hadley looks absolutely swoonsome on .

Straight to , "Pearl in the shell" gets a cosy red jumper for a chilly week.

And look, enough action to rival Moldova!
