Was it ever fair to run a campaign called Knuke The Knack ? Maybe not but it would have made a great T shirt. I've never played the Knack on the show before because of an inbuilt prejudice at an American version of New Wave (always sarkily spelt Noo Wave in NME) which makes no sense thirty years later. Talking of nukes, the Television Personalities couldn't have been too popular among CND supporters with their 1986 single. Maybe they'd watched too many episodes of Dr Strangelove. I'm away to queue outside the pictures for the Runaways movie.
