memoir monday (five)

13th March 1987

On Wednesday Mr. Scott said we were going to make a radio and television top ten.  Kaye and I were doing the tape.  We went to the staff room and started doing it.  It went like this:
Number ten, Check This
At number nine, He-man
The overgrown pussies the Thundercats are at number eight
The Waltons are at number seven
The Gummy Bears are at number six
Top of the Pops is working its way up at number five
At number four, Question of Sport
At number three, Dallas
And there is a tie for first place between Grange Hill and Eastenders.
We did it twice and sent the second one away.  Two weeks later we listened to Check This and it was on.  Then we got a letter from them.  It said:
Dear Primaries 4-7,
Thanks for taking the time to record a cassette for us - we hope you heard us use it on the programme and we look forward to hearing some more from you soon.
