Yeah, it was on in the mid eighties. This naff looking punk band take their tape to an A&R man and that's the conversation they have.


I've just worked out the point - they get their big 'break', so it's have a break, have a KitKat! I should've got that before, but in my defence it hasn't been on for over 15 years

I did have one Curly wurly badge but I don't remember what it said. I used to collect the golliwog badges from the Robinsons jams.

I wouldn't think so, we're talking early 1970's here!  There were all sorts of slightly cheeky slogans like that when curly wurlies were introduced.
