Anyone watching this? (I'm roughly 10 mins behind btw!)

Did they credit the Focus song incorrectly? (Most of that was 'Sylvia' surely?)

The TOTP clips at least are zoomed in, as the original captions left in are larger than on original transmission(or cut in half, in the case of Vanessa Paradis!).

If you've missed that showing, there's another one Monday morning 100am!

Off topic, but seems as good a time to ask as any... everytime I hear Sylvia/Hocus Pocus, especially the main melody, my brain screams at me that it was the theme tune for something back in the 80s - something with a montage as a title sequence. Has anyone got any idea what I'm (mis?)remembering?

Not seen the programme, but if it's a live show, they traditionally play/played Hocus Pocus and Sylvia as a medley.
