I've managed to find another mock-up edition of The Chart Show on Youtube this time from a guy called Jay Christie who has used the graphics of 1997 to intersperse the videos of 2008.
It's not too bad a job with all the usual features such as the Chart News and a rather enjoyable Dance Chart with a selection of tunes from the last few years. I always liked the sting to that section of the show from this era mainly because of the music and bright colours and a voice that can be faintly heard in the background shouting
"Turn that music down!".
There are one or two tiny mistakes such as the sting for a record going up being played before one actually going down during the Top 10 and Nickelback's "Rockstar" being without a video, but apart from that it's a very good effort and I don't see why the show overall shouldn't be welcomed back on our television screens.
I may head off for a lie down soon although I'm being distracted by KMFM's Rock Show with Richard Walters and a rather interesting interview with Fightstar where they've been talking about there worst tour experiences due to dodgy service stations.
I'd definitely say we're lucky to have such a show in Kent where many other local stations wouldn't dare to take the brave step and the same goes for Chris Finn's Chill Out Show which goes out on Saturday nights.
The icing on the cake (although Tony Blackburn's Sunday show probably has that covered) would be a disco or soul show to go out on Sunday evenings but then again that would be wishful thinking.
Having said that, surely Peter Stewart at BBC Radio Kent could be tempted away and ressurect the Carwash on KMFM which would be perfect.
I know that there's quite a few fans of 80s soul north of the county who would probably appreciate either that, or one similar to the rock show which can blend in not too obvious classics with up to date soul tunes.
