Bahhh, kids stuff! What about the skin tight leather pants, no shirt and emaciated body!
You know how "pure orange juice" can be made of "concentrated orange extract"? Well maybe you remember when TOTP kept trying to deceive us with "Live in the studio ..." - meaning "not on video" (but miming all the same and "singing live" (a.k.a. miming during a live broadcast) and "live vocal" (but the band aren't plugged in). Status Quo did a slot on TOTP when their drummer was in Australia recouperating from a breakdown or something, so they just put cardboard cut-out of him up. Still, we've had plenty of 100% live stuff to counteract it, TOTP is just for 12yr olds - who cares.
