Top of the Pops 6 December 1990

 Words: Chris Arnsby

Mark Goodier: “Good evening if you're watching on BBC1 or if you're listening on Radio 1 in FM stereo. It's the weekly hit countdown. Top of the Pops. Tonight we may well see the song which is the Christmas Number One, so stay tuned. And we start with a song by a band who have been in the top forty twice in the last three months, Twenty Four Seven.”

 [25] TWENTY 4 SEVEN / CAPTAIN HOLLYWOOD: Are You Dreaming? A dynamic start to the show when Twenty 4 Seven/Captain Hollywood march on stage from all points of the compass. Someone comes down the stairs and onto the Triangle Stage. Two come up from the back. And the other one steps out from where they were lurking behind a triangle.

Rod Litherland has taken over Lighting this week and he's using all the colours that Chris Kempton hates, green and yellow mainly. The lighting of the Triangle stage looks very much like how the the Film Strip stage was lit last week for Run-DMC and their prerecorded performance of What's It All About.
