25/07/1985 show opener, so I'd only turned six a month prior, so I didn't remember it either - though I'd also forgotten it from the BBC4 reruns but then the '85 eps were a good few years back now themselves. EDIT: oh and missed the very start of the ep last night, so dunno if they edited out Gary Davies's 'joke' or not...? 'Ooh' indeed...
Wonderful. The only thing that spoils this clip is the inane “sun tan” conversation, I hate when people say that to me, thankfully doesn’t happen often these days.
Insane to think this got into the Top 40 while the enduring ‘Hot Hot Hot’ stalled at No.59! How many times did you hear ‘Long Time’ on the radio? Of course the real crime is Gilberto Gil’s ‘Toda Menina Baiana’ not making it to the Top 40 due to competition from a crap cover version produced by Stock Aitken Waterman (!). In the end neither version charted!
Wow it looks like back then you can get away with a lot, A white going to a black guy you have a better suntan then me on Tv would be all over the news now
I knew the white guy, Gary Davies. Back in the late 70's he used to be one of the dj's at a nightclub called Placemmate 7 in Manchester. He was from a very well off family, use come to work in porsche.

This brings back such lovely 80's memories
Arrow from the Volcanic Island of Montserrat, RIP and thanks for your music and inheritance to all of us SOCA lovers.
I was just wondering what the Mighty Arrow was up to.... Truly grateful for his tremendous legacy! May he rest in eternal peace indeed.
That's really great

Long Time I waited to listen TO this beautiful song;30yrs
"A better sun tan..."? Lol definitely the 80s. So a standard ever since for any Carribean gathering 😀

Aqui em Mirinzal, Maranhão, Brasil, em todas as festas dançamos Soca e Lambada, e esta musica toca sempre, hoje mesmo tocou ela.
Esses sucessos foram tema de fundo de um quadro do Silvio Santos chamado HOT HOT HOT era um charme a parte
Recuerdo de los carnavales de guiria, estado sucre venezuela, años 80 y 90
Absolutely 80s. Love it!!!!!!!!!
Truly the best

La Flecha, el mejor de todos
Long time live sempre na mídia das melhores lambadas.
This will remind a few of you of the all-night curfew parties in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea in the early 1980's.

Cringe.
That was tame. British Sitcoms were worse, especially in the 70’s.
