I'd like to see Jackie Wilson Says - Dexy's Midnight Runners.  The one where they put a picture of Jockie Wilson up on the video screen by mistake!

Classic TV moment!

Classic moment indeed!

But it wasn't a mistake...the band actually asked the BBC's graphics people to put up the image of Jocky Wilson as a joke...

Sadly, I can't find a clip of that, but here's another TOTP 'cringe factor' moment... (from slightly later in 1988)

(Although the poster says they refused to mime, in actual fact the duo couldn't hear the studio monitors, so they didn't even know the song was playing!)
