How close we came

Yes, yes, of course you have your Posh and Becks, but imagine if Suzi Quatro had overcome her shyness and actually snared David Essex:

"I had a real thing for him when he sang, 'Hold me close don't let me go... oh no.' That's exactly what I wanted to do. "He was just so damn cute. I never told him, even though we met many times. Now my secret is out."

Now, there you would have had a power couple worthy of the name.

Rare TOTP stuff from the glam era has been found... albeit on tapes made by the time-honoured "putting a tape recorder next to the TV speaker" method (honestly, Mr born-after-1980, you haven't lived with your VHS and your DVD and your MP3). Thank god for obsessives, eh?
They've even got Suzi Quatro [BBC News] - "get yer head out the way of the screen" cries from Dad not in original mix
