Notes
1976 was a vintage year for Play For Today: Nuts In May, Abigail's Party, Bar Mitxvah Boy, Brimstone And Treacle. Unlike those classics, Jumping Bean Bag has never been reshown until now, its 30th anniversary. Public school Glam band Slag Bag dream of being "as big as the Bay City Rollers". With singer Ozzie Freemantle (David 'Ford Prefect' Dixon) and drummer Snare (Denis Lawson) and songs like Snake Madness, they debut at an end-of-year school play, are expelled, then rise swiftly to the top only for disaster to strike. Among their loyal fans is a young Linda Robson.

Toyah Willcox and Phil Daniels star in Glitter, as kids who break into a TV studio only to be caught by Noel Edmonds.
