Much better, and more interesting, than Buzzcocks - which was far more about taking the piss and less about the music. It's interesting to see what music musicians know about.

Mike accepted the names of the 4 members of Japan but didn’t require the 5th member’s name, Rob Dean, who was in the video they showed and only left the band between the Gentlemen Take Polaroids and Tin Drum albums.

According to the Radio Times, Kevin Rowland of Dexys Midnight Runners was due to appear on David Grant's team. Looks like he had to pull out, with Rick Wakeman taking his place.

8:55 It's interesting seeing someone on a pop music quiz NOT getting that song. Because it's so well known. But by that time, it wasn't out for very long so no one had that song drilled into their mind like they do now.

I was just saying this the other day. Most of the songs played are now ingrained in our DNA and it's funny how when it comes to name number ones, I name ones that weren't released yet.

Yes, the stupid girly screams for the Kajagoogoo member (what a HUGE talent, HE turned out to be, eh?) and for no-one else was pretty much unbearable. Also, considering the amount of cheating, is there any real point in keeping the score?

Weird that Bill Nelson at 2:30 couldn't recall a song title as famous as "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, but knew that Clapton wasn't in The Yardbirds the same time as Jimmy Page, which is much more obscure rock knowledge.

Rick Wakeman with a beard... that's much better. (For context, I saw Series 1 Episode 2 where Wakeman was a team captain... and he was clean shaven. It was just so unsettling to see. Very Uncanny Valley.)

7:37 Grant gives the idiot excuse of "none of us were born in 1967". I notice that Mr Wakeman made no comment. He was born in May 1949. He was just about to turn 34 when this was recorded and was 18 back in 1967.
