Limahl - Too Much Trouble - BBC1 (Jim'll Fix It) - 14.01.1984

Broadcast date: 14 January 1984, UK.
BBC1 - Jim'll Fix It (children television show). Series 10, Episode 4.
Hosted by Jimmy Savile.

Jim'll Fix It was a long-running British television show, broadcast by the BBC1 between May 1975 and June 1994. The show was hosted by Savile, who would "fix it" for the wishes of several viewers (usually children) to come true each week. Occasionally, other people featured in the "Fix It" (actors from well known series, for example), might also give the viewer an extra gift somehow relating to the Fix. Savile himself played no part in the filming or recording of the "fix-its", unless specifically requested as part of the letter writer's wish. The standard format was that the viewer's letter, which described their wish, would be shown on the screen and read out aloud, initially by Savile, but in later series by the viewer himself as a voice-over. Savile would then introduce the Fix, which would either have been pre-filmed on location or take place "live" in the studio. At the end, the viewer would join Savile to be congratulated and presented with a large medal with the words "Jim Fixed It For Me" engraved on it.
Limahl appeared once more on Jim'll Fix It - in 1983, with Kajagoogoo (on my playlist).

Comments:
1. I believe this is the very first TV performance of "Too Much Trouble", launching promotion of the song, following the success of "Only for Love".
2. I will love this performance, if not the memory of Savile's dark side (confirmed only after his death to be a notorious paedophile). For that reason all programs with Saville, including all “Jim’ll Fix It” and some of the episodes of “Top of The Pops” are banned from any repeats – you will not see that on any TV at all. Apart from it - the idea was great - guest backup dancer Judy was fabulous and could be as good as Mandy Newton and Josephine Melville (however in contrast to Mandy she would be a bit too tall next to Limahl - therefore that would not work ;-).

Released: 1984; Label: EMI; Album: Don't Suppose.
