Ah, but today pointing out spelling mistakes - or any mistakes - is classed as bullying. There are no longer mistakes, just 'verified' alternatives, as wikipedia would put it. What a shambles!

The pillocks at the BBC said that "The Jacksons" were on the 5/10/78 show the other week - it was announced in the Radio Times, their website and continuity announcers before each broadcast.
It was in fact UK singer-songwriter performing his original version of Blame It On The Boogie.
It says that on the bbc website too, however it did say that a couple of years ago when jk was in the charts with "It only takes a minute", but edited it out of the screened version. There will be trouble if they do that again.
