"Young men. Young men." Bryan Ferry was the oldest and he was only 27 at the time.

The "30 years ago" appearance on TOTP is now 50 years ago today!

Vic is more Brian Ferry than Brian Ferry! Love x

Bygone days when you could do an impression of Savile .Totally Roxy brilliant.

I could be wrong, but I think this is a sly dig at Savile when he says "young men, young men" with a definite emphasis on the second *young*.

Absolutely magic, never fully appreciated until you see the original.

Johnny Vegas in those platforms and satin trousers 😫

Vic as Bryan Ferry 😆 The 'I am flying off to Rio vibrato' is absolutely spot on. Hilarious and brilliant sketch

I remember reading about them in a music paper, seeing an advert for their first album and hearing them on the radio. So I looked forward to seeing them on TOTP for the first time. I was at a friend's house and wasn't disappointed. Her mother sat to the side of the TV and laughed all the way through. She was shocked to see his glittery eye shadow. They were ten years ahead of their time musically and aestetically. Like a fusion between punk and New Romantic.

Wow a Roxy clip I’ve never seen!. Thanks for trawling the archives and posting this . What a band

The mid 90s were a golden time for comedy in the UK. Along with these guys we had the likes of Father Ted, The Day Today and Brass Eye. Looking back we were blessed to have real satire and slapstick without fear of offending anyone. You can't get away with anything these days. So sad.

I believe a lot of the time that ‘everyone is offended’ is just an excuse. Fact is comedy sketches are more time consuming and expensive to film than reality TV or quiz shows. It’s just easier to make those than put any thought into making decent comedy.
