The Roxy - Episode 26 (December 1, 1987)

The hottest nightclub on the telly is still closed because of an industrial dispute. Special shoutout to gto, who commented on episode 25, "Stay clean Greg. We dont want to lose you." Thank you very much for your support.
Presented by David "Kid" Jensen and Kevin Sharkey, this series used a weekly chart distributed by Satellite Media Services, produced by Capital Radio and compiled by the Media Research Information Bureau (MRIB). You could hear "Kid" count them down every Sunday afternoon from 5pm, in competition with BBC Radio 1's own chart show.
Studio Performances:
Labi Siffre - "Nothin's Gonna Change" (includes video clips) [#42]
The Proclaimers - "Letter from America" (includes video clips) [#6]
ABC - "King without a Crown" [#37]
T'Pau - "China in Your Hand" [#1 third week]
Videos:
Michael Jackson - "The Way You Make Me Feel" [#26, highest new entry]
Alison Moyet - "Love Letters" [#33]
Shakin' Stevens - "What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes at Me For" [#19]
Notes:
* David and Kevin are carrying lanterns because there are still no lights (industrial dispute).
* How fitting they start the show with "Nothin's Gonna Change", because that's exactly how it looks for the rest of the calendar year.
* Starting this episode, they're going to be counting down the Top 30.
* Christmas #1 next week.
* Saturday rebroadcast.

Another issue was a scheduling Dispute with Yorkshire Television as Yorkshire were unhappy as they were committed to feeding Emmerdale Farm to most regions at 7pm

Not even six months into the series and we are already on the second title sequence! What with the industrial dispute going on and the ITV regions showing it at different times The Roxy really was in trouble.
