What a swizz. That song probably only sold 3 copies of sheet music when it was released in 1832. I would have said "It's called Talbot Cars are Shite Tom"
Did you know that “The Grasshopper’s Dance” was used in the first two episodes of BBC TV’s “The Magic Roundabout”, the most infamous section that it was used in was when Zebedee first appeared in episode 1, “Mr. Rusty Meets Zebedee”
Wonder if the organist will play just a few notes to the congregation as Tom's coffin goes down the church Isle, leaving them to 'Name That Tune'. RIP Tom you seemed a nice guy.
A Talbot Samba and Maggie Moone! It really dont get much more average than this! Seriously though, this along with Sale Of The Century were decent wholesome ganeshows and not the crud we have to endure today! Agree kids?
Tom O Connor was seemingly a warm and tender lover who put his partners needs before himself, in the bedroom ,,and other times he would go like a jack hammer.
Poor Guy although he was probably lucky NOT to win the Talbot Samba (there are only 35 left according to 'Howmanyleft') so it would probably of rusted away after a year. The £450 pounds he did win would probably not pay for his train fare home nowadays.
That was bullseye with Jim Bowen. Another crap top prize show. It was either a caravan or a speedboat. The worst one for prizes was Blankety Blank. A set of luggage, or a moped if you were (**coughs) lucky. Even the hosts took the p*** out of the prizes on that show.
@@zachalderton2057 I’m not sure where you’re hearing an announcer; all I know is this show was hosted by Tom O’Connor (the guy with white hair and dressed in a dark blue suit) in the U.K. in the late 1970’s.
Thanks for the memories Tom. R.I.P.
Only found out he died a few days ago.Rip 😭2nd only to Brucie and Bob Monkhouse

Thanks for the memories Tom. Rest in peace sir.
The star prize was a Talbot Samba? What a magical time it must have been. RIP Tom O’Connor, safe solid and dependable and very very funny.

The cars had to be of an English brand and only a couple of thousand pounds in value. This was the 80's after all.
RIP Tom

Arthur couldn't have been more sporting in losing the car if he tried.
The Talbot Samba was good car back then
....so he didn't get two Talbot Sambas for getting the question wrong...?
Tom was a really nice guy
Erm.. erm.. not quite sure Tom.. not quite sure..
..is it 'Ace of Spades' by Motorhead?
Love the way the punter says “hello Ronnie” and there is no sentiment back... daft old sod.
Holy Christ! A Talbot Samba! That's more like a punishment than a prize.
"Not a fucking scooby, Tom. Cheers anyway, I've had fun."
