Razzmatazz 1984 (Blakelaw School) Higher Quality

Our School (Blakelaw Comprehensive) was invited to be the crowd and go on ITV's Razzmatazz in summer 1984. It was a pop show and it ran from 1981 to 1987 and was hosted by Alastair Pirrie. It was a fun day. My School is present on most of it, but not the section with K-ram, I don't know which school that is, Anyone know?? reply in comments. This is the second time I've uploaded this, but this time is much higher quality and the complete programme in one. Enjoy memory lane :)

Singing about a 3 some on a kids programme 😮all wrong back then but seemed so innocent

3.16 hes rappin

[@pww7872]

I was there for David Cassidy, toyah, king, psychodelic furs, anyone else? Annnnnd I never realised how gay this program was... Is that a pair of leather under pants? Singing those lyrics in front of kids.?

[@iant9461]

Reminds me of Cameo. Strange back then. Probably looked more ridiculous to parents than overtly sexual. Better image of blacks compared with today though, don’t you think?

[@starlettawalsh6785]

original

[@misterr279]

Bit creepy how “old” artists would turn up to a kids party?.

[@iant9461]

Old artist? You mean Robbin Gibb at 35? Still a few songs to go. What about David Bowie, he’d have been 36 and singing Let’s Dance around this time. What about Take That? Just exactly are you trying to say you stupid fud?

[@agfagaevart]

It's only "creepy" in your dirty lil' mind; Those "old artists" from the 1970s were still popular back than, and hit the charts quite often.

[@iant9461]

Kids were so decent then. But they had a nuclear family, mum and dad and stable life, with little outside pollution deviances back then. God I would love the kids of today have all this instead of the filth they’re being given today from such an early age. That reading bit at the end, an English teacher couldn’t rattle that off these days.

[@richardgale4827]

I remember a lot kids being absolute sh•ts then. Funny how the mind plays tricks.

[@iant9461]

@@richardgale4827 In general they were more decent than they are today. Sure there were bad ones but not on the scale that they are today. How many kids did you know who went around carrying machetes?

@@iant9461 My cousin was an inner-city teacher in the 70s and 80s. Sometimes had to collect blades at the start of lessons. I guess it's where you were.

[@iant9461]

@@richardgale4827 Sure I saw that a few times including a Stanley knife but go and ask your cousin if he remembers kids and teachers being murdered in the classroom room. We’re you at school in the 70s and 80’s? Before the 70’s or after the 80s?

[@agfagaevart]

it wasn't so innocent back then. and you well know...

[@Stiffd1]

Jules Holland tinkling away...that's a most boring track I've gotta say... ' Is it called Boogie Woogie Boring Bit by any chance? I don't wanna dance - no more!
