Sorry I lost you there Mabs; it could get worse - or better. Some years after Top of The Pops (by which time, I hasten to point out, I had completely severed any and all connection, with Bay City Rollers - there isn't a severely embarrassed enough emoticon),
I moved onto this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=328WhjAXpcs , which I was getting into at the same time as this story happened and was all over the news for as many days as it took http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Rampi We heard little Alfredo crying 'Mama, mama' on the news from the place that became his tomb. They dropped a microphone down to him, along with yoghurts and bananas. About 16.30 on the vid is the song that just made me feel how his mother at the top of the well must have felt during those days. And for a long long time after.
Bit sniffly now.....
