OTD 1977: Tom Robinson Band – 2-4-6-8 Motorway Their first and biggest hit, with a terrific riff from Danny Kustow’s blistering lead guitar Hugely catchy driving song, arguably more relatable than Tom’s other driving songs, which all steer desperately through haunting post-apocalyptic landscapes…

The Rock ’n’ Roll Years 1978 – Danny Kustow on lead guitar, Tom Robinson on bass and lead vocals, “THE TOM ROBINSON BAND” with (Sing If You’re) Glad To Be Gay, a 1987 TV experience which was both excruciating and life-changing for 15-year-old-me, but that’s another story.
NB I’ve not got my numbers mixed up: this was a documentary about 1978, broadcast in 1987. My wrongness consists merely in using this particular band photo to illustrate a different song in a different year.

OTD 1979: The Legend of King Arthur BBC1 Serious, history-toned version of the myth with the magic toned down (yet still there) Scripted by – yes – the Andrew Davies Andrew Burt is Arthur David Robb Lancelot But most memorable for boy me was Maureen O’Brien playing Morgan le Fay as an evil nun.

The Legend of King Arthur – The Complete Series Simply Media DVD cover
Andrew Burt’s King Arthur in Sutton Hoo-ish armour, around him Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot
But you can see their selling point: “Andrew Davies' sumptuous adaptation of the timeless saga” (though this adaptation isn’t timeless at all, but tries to give much more of a sense of a real time, several centuries earlier than most)

OTD 1969: The Beatles Something / Come Together Something utterly gorgeous. The decade when Lennon and McCartney were the greatest songwriters in the world closes with George Harrison unbound—the two greatest songs on probably the Beatles’ greatest album. Now, at last, one of George’s gets to lead.

The Beatles Something / Come Together single – the Beatles standing in a row. George is, at last, highest.

OTD 1987: #DoctorWho Paradise Towers Where Sylv’s Doctor really begins Fascists, robots and ancient evil rising in not a picture-postcard village but a Richard Briers horror sit-com tower block where the propertied old eat the dispossessed young (they always do that). Ice-hot!

The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Mel (Bonnie Langford) are held at crossbow-point by the Red Kangs, a ferocious gang of teenage (it says here) girls

The Chief Caretaker (Richard Briers) looks up into the bright lights. It’s not the big city beckoning. “It sort of is,” my husband points out.

Residents Tilda and Tabby find Mel just a bit too delicious. She’s wrapped up in knitting and menaced by a toasting fork.

OTD 1988: Talking Heads – (Nothing But) Flowers One of my fave Heads singles (long before the obvious reason; I even bought it at the time), and one of their last, from Naked Joyously upbeat singalong, dancealong bass and spangly guitar to a downbeat ironic lament.

Talking Heads – (Nothing But) Flowers 7” single cover: lyrics printed in yellow capitals over leaves and flowers. I prefer this single mix, which gets going faster.

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it’s nothing but flowers
There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it
We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it
There was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
You’ve got it, you’ve got it
If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower

Tara King (Linda Thorson) in vivid pink, striding across a battlefield with soldiers beside her and an explosion behind her

Steed (Patrick Macnee) has just escaped handcuffs and looks with mild surprise at the large bomb (labelled BOMB) in front of him

Peter Jeffrey with glints in his eyes and teeth bared in triumph. One of his more understated moments.

The villain moves the counter down the giant Snakes and Ladders game to REVENGE

What’s a poster you had in your room growing up? [IIRC he was on the ceiling. My brother and I started with strictly parent-adjudicated wall-territories each for football and Doctor Who respectively, then aggressively extended our conflict overhead]

Adric (Matthew Waterhouse) in a black and silver spacesuit. Centrefold poster from Doctor Who magazine (and Doctor Who – Four To Doomsday)
