QUESTION ONE - In October 1982 Dexy's Midnight Runners performed their current single 'Jackie Wilson said (I'm in heaven when you smile)' on the tv show 'Top of the pops'. What was unusual and unbelievable about this performance ?

Was it because they performed the song in front of a picture of Jockey Wilson the darts player, not Jackie Wilson
