Top Of The Pops: With Thanks To Brian McCloskey

Top Of The Pops: Special Thanks To Brian McCloskey

I was surprised and delighted by the news that my name appeared on the end credits of The Story Of 1983, shown on BBC4 today.

I can't see the programme in the USA, but viewers in the UK can watch it here for the next month. Enjoy!
