JK2006	8.30pm; 267 people have seen this yet the BBC still haven't changed it; the new No1 is still going down the chart. Nobody cares anymore.

Weeks on chart is based on previous entries. (Though the number might be incorrect).
Chris Retro	I've nothing against the PJ & Duncan records - indeed, I could name them all and only a couple (OUR Radio Rocks! for instance) were awful - but they were brushing shoulders in the charts with the the Britpop cocktail, loads of joyous dance music as well as other varied acts from Celine Dion & the Bee Gees to The Beautiful South & REM. Now the singles chart is full of sub-PJ & Duncan pap-pop normally originating from reality television & joyless dance music. The variety has been eradicated.
JK2006	I was asked to produce them years ago by Matthew Robinson (Tom's older brother and a fellow Cambridge student with me) but declined.
Chris Retro	Question is - if PJ & Duncan were sort of 'the worst of 1994' in terms of quality, what would happen if something 'good' was promoted on TV now? Revelation? Or is a "90s Revival" in full flow - the "90s" meaning all of those heavily manufactured acts on 'The Big Reunion', suggesting what I've suggested elsewhere in a burying of 'good' pop culture to present the past as much the same as today? What next - a Deuce revival? The mid-late 90s were the point when "pop music" was deliberately divorced from what pop music had been in the 60s, 70s & 80 (ie creative & intelligent)?
