You can’t fault her reasoning, about Newley or Bowie.

The only time my mum has ever mistaken Bowie for Newley was when she heard “Baal’s Hymn.” Her view was that That Anthony Newley had gone mad and it was all the fault of That Joan Collins.

we were saying (in the pub) that Little Wonder is Bowie at his Bowie-est* (post-Deram troubadour period anyway) and therefore very easy to imitate.

*by which we meant “most like tony newley”

Sound effects used not used in the show included 1 x Klaxon stolen from the klaxons album, so there could have been compare & contrast.

I was surprised and somewhat horrified at how closely it resembled Pete singing it drunkenly in the pub.

Hadn’t heard Bowie’s “Little Wonder” in a dog’s age but was not entirely surprised at how closely it resembled and/or anticipated the work of the Klaxons.

Spot the deliberate error…

In the interest of full disclosure, the first 2000AD prog was in 1978 and Rollerball (1) was 1975. The seventies all roll into one.

There were no other errors in the show however.
