The one saving grace
The one saving grace of C4’s Top 100 Worst Singles programme (apart from it being compulsive point-and-shout watching, bah) was the way the director was clearly on the side of POP against the mealy-mouthed mutterings of SMUG BASTARDS. Almost every time a talking head delivered what they considered a ‘killer’ one-liner, the camera would linger on them for two or three seconds more than neccessary, enough time for them to laugh at their own joke and then look nervous and a little ashamed. After hearing the “Do You Think I’m Sexy - the answer is No!!!!” joke for the third time in three hours this became a source of true relief and pleasure.
