This song is a banger, and quite literally launched the career of Hans Zimmer. I like it as much today as when I first heard it in those dark days of 1985. Who sang the opening line of 'Do They Know it's Christmas' might be the established pub quiz question, but really it should be who sang the first line of this classic, and the answer should be the incomparably talented Bobby G.

Nicola Bryant’s solo is my favourite bit of this, and it’s great to see a screenshot of it being used as the KZbin thumbnail for the video.

I've always said for everything JN-T did that was good for Doctor Who he did 3 times in damage.

As a Doctor Who fan for 35 years, this is the most toe-curlingly gross and embarassing thing associated with the show that has ever been made. I'd say that everyone involved in making it should be up on charges in the Hague, but I'm going to give at least some of them the benefit of the doubt and assume they felt pressured to do it because of the charity connection. Still, it's something I wish fandom could just quietly agree to forget ever existed.

i LOVE it. This takes me back - I close my eyes and I’m 10/11 yrs old again. Awesome seeing such a clear version, but I guess that’s what’s possible when it’s uploaded from a master copy. Thanks for a few minutes traveled back to the 80’s.

You should list the guilty people 'singing' but as a Whovian it's still good to see x

It may have sounded better if they only used the actors images in the clip instead of having them sing!

Reckon it would be more palatable had you had more people on it who could sing, or operate a mixing desk. Those vocals are far too low and flat in the mix.

I’m a child of the 80s and still listen to a lot of music from that decade, but I have no idea who any of these ‘pop stars’ are 🤷🏽♂️
