Antiques Roadshow ceramics expert Henry Sandon (now 94) is selling his ceramics collection because he feels he can no longer care for it

I think there is a Frankie problem with this list (and I do not mean the Sister Sledge track) I can see all three failing to qualify unless there is a consensus that The Power of Love is the only one worth saving

Whilst I won't be riding in on a charger to save it I actually think that the Stevie Wonder song is actually really effective and does what it says on the tin. Harsh for it to go early

24 George Michael – Careless Whisper 24 Eurythmics – There must be an angel (playing with my heart) +4 22 Whitney Houston – Saving all my love for you -2 21 Nena – 99 red balloons 21 David Bowie & Mick Jagger – Dancing in the street 21 Wham – Wake me up before you go go 21 Dead or Alive – You spin me round (like a record) 20 Paul McCartney – Pipes of peace 20 Frankie goes to Hollywood – Relax 20 Lionel Richie – Hello 20 Duran Duran – The Reflex 20 Frankie goes to Hollywood – Two Tribes 20 Stevie Wonder – I just called to say I love you 20 Wham – Freedom 20 Chaka Khan – I feel for you 20 Jim Diamond – I should have known better 20 Frankie goes to Hollywood – The power of love 20 Foreigner – I want to know what love is 20 Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickson – I know him so well 20 Philip Bailey & Phil Collins – Easy Lover 20 Phyllis Nelson – Move closer 20 Sister Sledge – Frankie 20 Madonna – Into the groove 20 UB40 & Chrissie Hynde – I got you babe 20 Midge Ure – If I was 20 Jennifer Rush – The power of love 20 Feargal Sharkey – A good heart 20 Shakin´ Stevens – Merry Christmas everyone 19 Wham – I´m your man -1 17 Crowd – You´ll never walk alone -3 15 Band Aid – Do they know it´s Christmas? 14 Paul Hardcastle – 19 13 USA for Africa – We are the world

Three of my initial five survived. Madness, Bonnie Tyler & Men At Work. Adam Ant and Phil Collins failed to make the grade. However I don't dislike the other remaining songs. I have picked my five for the next round but there is quite a lot of good stuff but there are things that need to die quickly and not just the Invasion of the charity singles.

Here is my team but this game was closely fought last year Actual Team Billy Connolly Phil Collins Bill Cosby Vladimir Putin Clint Eastwood Donald Trump Ozzy Osbourne Willie Nelson Buzz Aldrin Prunella Scales Mel Brooks David Attenborough Linda Nolan Burt Bacharach Tony Bennett Rupert Murdoch Eva Marie Saint Janey Godley Shannon Doherty Shane MacGowan Bobby Charlton Andy Taylor Ted Kascynski Rhod Gilbert Frank Field Sub Michael J Fox

Unfortunately not in the current round. Good spot though

66 Kraftwerk – The Model / Computer Love 56 Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the heart 54 Madness – House of Fun 33 Men at Work – Down Under +4 30 The Jam – Town called Malice / Precious 21 The Police – Every breath you take 15 Irene Cara – Fame -3  00 David Bowie – Let's Dance -3

@Sir Creep you have not adjusted the score for the Flying Pickets

I don't need to my Jukebox brain has been mentally playing me I Don't Wanna Dance since the round started

Just got married according to Twitter.

57 Kraftwerk – The Model / Computer Love 52 Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the Heart 47 Madness – House of Fun 38 The Jam — Town called Malice 34 The Police – Every breath you take 29 Men at Work – Down Under 29 Culture Club – Do you really want to hurt me? 22 Duran Duran – Is There Something I Should Know? -3 22 David Bowie – Let's Dance -3 21 Flying Pickets – Only You +4 10 Irene Cara — Fame  8 Eddy Grant – I Don't Wanna Dance

How ill do we think Brian May is? There seemed to be pictures of them out on the town on some of the celeb gossip sites earlier today.

Dustin Gee is always very helpful in explaining to the younger generation who cannot understand why Les Dennis is famous. Dennis was a better impressionist but Gee had better comic timing

57 Kraftwerk – The Model / Computer Love 46 Madness – House of Fun 45 Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the Heart 43 Men at Work – Down Under 34 The Jam – Town called Malice 33 Flying Pickets - Only You +4 27 David Bowie – Let's Dance -3 26 Duran Duran – Is There Something I Should Know? 26 Culture Club – Do you really want to hurt me? 26 The Police – Every breath you take 23 Eddy Grant – I Don't Wanna Dance 18 KC & the Sunshine Band - Give It Up 17 Irene Cara — Fame 00 Spandau Ballet – True -3

I heard it again recently and it is better than I remember it being but not as good as the Yazoo version

Two of the five I picked out at the beginning of the round have been eliminated. The other three are still in the Top 5 of my reserve list only one is still in play but there is nothing here that I really dislike only shades of preference

House of Fun is absolutely iconic and was hilariously Number 1 during Pope John Paul II visit to the UK Only You is the only Vince Clarke track to make it to No.1 during the 80's Give It Up is upbeat if nothing else

The 2021 photo would not be enough to send me scurrying to put her on my Cup team

In the last round I was upvoting Ashes to Ashes but this song is not particularly special. For me he is a bit hit and miss I love Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Space Oddity, Underground, The Man Who Sold the World Let's Dance and China Girl are just a bit meh but I loathe Absolute Beginners

I think for me it must have been Elvis. My eldest sister had just started work and she said some of the women in her office were in tears at the news.

49 Kraftwerk – The Model / Computer Love 46 The Jam – Town called Malice 44 Madness – House of fun 44 Men at Work – Down Under 44 Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the Heart +4 42 Eddy Grant – I Don't Wanna Dance 34 Flying Pickets – Only You 30 KC & the Sunshine Band – Give it up 30 Duran Duran – Is There Something I Should Know? 27 David Bowie – Let's Dance -3 27 The Police – Every breath you take 25 Culture Club – Do you really want to hurt me? 22 Irene Cara — Fame 21 Spandau Ballet – True -3
