  • The Pink Windmill Kids hotfoot it down to Donington Motor Museum to perform a fantastically upbeat version of Mick Jackson's Weekend. Slightly peculiar that, after years of hogging the Friday afternoon slot, this song was on the episode of Emu's Wide World went out on *Tuesday*, 17th November, 1987...
    Many thanks to Lindsay for lending me this tape.
    (Please remember that this is an off-air VHS recording, so don't go expecting 1080p HD quality. I'm fairly certain that this video isn't commercially available, and I've uploaded it for its historic interest only.

      Yes! I knew he had to have one somewhere!
      (You know, the thought occurs, Greased Lightning should have been shot here with the cars and Weekend would have fitted better with having their hair done. Just a random thought.)

      Sounds more like Nick to me; the voices and kids don't actually match up for a lot of the rest of them, I actually think Daryl says the first Tuesday and it's like this for the rest of the voices:
      [Cassie] Monday!
      [Daryl] Tuesday!
      [Kelly] Wednesday!
      [Nicholas] Thursday!
      [Abbie] Friday!
      [Sarah] Saturday night
      [Kelly(?)] Monday!
      [Claire(?)] Tuesday!
      [Abbie] Wednesday!
      [Nicholas] Thursday!
      [Tammy] Friday!
      [Gianni] Saturday night
      Myabe Danny instead of the 2nd Kelly one, and Sarah instead of the Claire one, or maybe someone else for either? idk
      I could also be completely wrong about Cassie and Daryl because we don't hear either of them anywhere else

      @@lucasmckinley8087 Thanks, I got bored earlier in quarantine and didn't have anything to do. Both of those other one are confusing, and there's also All Night Dancing with Tiffany miming Lisa and Sarah miming Tiffany or whatever, I don't even remember. 😂

      truth be told I never had one solo when recording the songs. I just could not sing a note and didn't matter how many singing lessons I had I just could not get it ! . still can't !

      ​@@daz5524 Never thought I'd see you here Daryl. This show was a staple of kids' TV back in the day, and if I can remember correctly I've always tried to mimic you (and Nick and Joe and Daniel) while dancing in the bedroom as a young lad, not that I could ever master any of those flips and spins you did. Always fancied being a Pink Windmill Kid, nothing out of the blue with primary schoolers back in the 80s, but that didn't happen. Hope you're doing well!
