A new video of "Help The Aged" on November 21, 1997 is available on YouTube. Then I found the full show that seems available on BBC iPlayer. Even I use VPN to connect to UK, but I don't have a TV license ... I can't watch the full show, so bad!
Only 19 episodes now, I found 2 episodes of Pulp

If anyone is in the UK and has the license, enjoy ...
I told that to a friend in the US, but she said it just won't work in certain territories... I don't know tech stuff, but that's what she told me (her genius husband earns oodles of money in some kind of IT job, so I guess he'd know).
Mimed, shame, but still interesting to see after all these years. Filmed at the same time, with a change of outfit, but same kids in audience. Neither with presenter present. After years of yearning to be on TOTP must make you a bit jaded, doing stuff like that. The girls in the front row looked like genuine fans - must have been another weird experience, as a 30+ year old with teenagers trying to grab hold of you (was there a bit about that in No Sleep Til Sheffield?). That would have terrified me, maybe he didn't mind, but I won't think about that.
Nice to hear it was in the same week as Pulp 4 Peel. I think I taped all, or most of that, at the time; will have to dig out the tapes (bet someone on here has digitised and shared it years ago).
Looked up Hanson: those kids are 39, 42, and 44 now. Seemed so young, and they've caught up with me. The main one has 7 kids. Errol Brown was 54 then, same age as Mark now (I think).
