That scared the shit outa me and still does !!
First musical memories include me wanting to be in Baccara (I was the dark haired one,my mate was the blonde).
Wishing I was in Legs and Co (childhood nickname) or The Brian Rodgers Connection so I could "do dancin" on telly.
Getting over excited because the man on TOTP stood on the piano AND he had his coat on indoors.
Up until Sparks my scariest TV moment had been that little stickman thing off Rupert The Bear, but yeah Ron was really creepy, as were Queen in the Bohemian Rhapsody video. That Japanese bloke with the face mask on the titles to "Survivors" really did gave me nightmares.
