On Pointless I get so annoyed when people say it was a "mistake" on Dexy's TOTP show; I'm pretty sure that was Michael Hurll and it was a deliberate, very funny, slide.

No, Dexy's asked Hurll to do it. Kevin Rowland explained this:
"For a laugh, we told the producer to put a picture of Jocky Wilson up behind us. He said: 'But Kevin, people will think we made a mistake.' I told him only an idiot would think that. The morning after, the [Radio 1] DJ Mike Read said: 'Bloody Top of the Pops. How could they mix up one of the great soul singers with a Scottish darts player?'"
