For some reason this sticks in my mind, though I thought it was earlier than '84.
The plot revolves around a young band and a supposed producer but con-man who is rumbled by his lack of knowledge of the titular song.
The episode stays vaguely in my mind after all this time- quite a feat given that the mid 80s was the last time it was ever shown. So It has to be a commendation of sorts.
Dramarama was a pretty unique 'Play For Today' style anthology for children and teens and wasn't afraid to tackle mature or unsettling plots.
It's a uniquely British style Children's TV show which sadly is long now extinct, and has been culturally displaced by the 'Nickleodeon' Culture.
Pity.

Well, this has been some weekend.
I've been trying to figure out for years if I actually saw this film as a kid in the 70's and didn't just dream it up. Absolutely no- one knew what I was talking about, including my Mother, and I just put it down to an amazingly vivid dream.
Then yesterday I visited my old house, where I saw the film, and tonight I'm looking randomly at an old comic site and up pops this image- I was stunned! But delighted.
Like the first reviewer this really stuck in my head for some reason, I guess it must be some tribute to a film to stick in the mind for decades after a single viewing. Something about it seemed very emotional even to a 5 year old.
So grab a copy for your kid and create some long term memories- me, I'm off to Amazon to buy a little piece of my childhood.
