Well we saw Limmy sat by that grave during the second scene…so I think it’s hinted at that whoever died did not follow their dreams and died unhappy. Perhaps he felt that at least with that all important ‘hope’, we at least stand more of a chance…or it at least pushes us along to be happier. It’s all very deep and it’s what separates it from say that sketch in Little Britain where that woman tasting the WI members foods throws up afterwards.
As for why Marti Pellow…Limmy explains it here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypzsqd_L-10?si=2fiayWFhzmpJ8uF5
Hmm…
For Marti Pellow to have sang at a karaoke pub in 1981 means that he's have been 17 years old (Marti that is). For this woman who went to college with Lemmy to have seen him there would mean she'd had to have been around the same age (At least). Lemu is 9 years younger than Marti Pellow which, while not that much in adult years, is a million miles away from being able to relate to him, or anyone his age, when Lemon was at college. He'd at least have mentioned she was a mature student (To him) or something
And that's to say nothing of there being karaoke in Clydebank in 1981
I'm thinking Lemme is more of a Bearden boy pretending to know what Clydebank was because he did his HND there. There might have been the odd neon light in a bar in Clydebank in the early 80's, but it wouldn't have lasted long and there's no way karaoke would have got past the first song

Well Lemon says in the video doesn’t he that he doesn’t remember now if she was actually there or someone who she knew was. He’s unclear on that detail. Even if it was her, I can recall more family type restauranty pubs or pubby restaurants being more popular back in the old days and they had karaoke sometimes. I should know because I can remember being at one and singing the Wet Wet Wet version of A Little Help From My Friends on karaoke…so how is that for bringing this story full circle? I doubt that is coincidence.
Anyway I don’t know why I’m trying to justify this…it’s LEMON’s story not mine! You heard it direct from the horses mouth…so it is not me that you need to be taking this up with, it’s HIM!!!

Fair enough Bobby
It's just that I worked in Clydebank for a bit and know the area well enough
There were no karaoke's in 1981 there

He’s probably got the area mixed up. It’s been over 30 years for him and the gist of what he said was ‘Clydebank or somewhere’. Why don’t you and I just keep traveling back to 1981 and visit each pub type place in Glasgow that has karaoke on during that fateful evening and look for a young Marti Pellow? If nothing else it will be fun to have a copy of us in so many pubs at one time AND it could make quite a fun pub crawl too if we have a beer in each one.

That sounds like fun Bobby!
Well the only places with karaoke then would be in either Glasgow or Edinburgh and people tended to stick to their own areas and so that whittles it down to Glasgow.
Still be hard to find a place in Glasgow, in 1981, with a karaoke though.
I think I've got around 13 spots which could be a two day bar crawl bender
We'll need to swap monies though. Fifty pence's were bigger back then and nobody had even heard of a pound coin

Yes we’ll need to bring appropriate money and some era appropriate clothing. Don’t bring any modern tech other than your mobile (which will need to be used to activate the time Vectrex), but keep that hidden!!
Finding the right evening should be easy, we’ll just focus the Nurungator on fixed points in time, which this evening will of course be because it is where Marti first showed the world his beautiful voice and made them take notice!

Well it's likely that we'll have to be hanging around the shirt lifter end of town Bobby, so clothing for the time shouldn't really be a concern, in fact we might even pick up a few beaus without trying too hard
But we really should research this Maria more. She'd help to pin-point the exact place as there are more than a few shirt lifter places in Glasgow (Not dissimilar to Manchester in that regard) and so we're looking for one that lets underaged girls AND boys in
Wait a minute…

Can we play this the first time we travel back?

It's a bit Chaz and Dave Bobby but sure, I'm sure some people will have a laugh with that
But we call Best "Heavy" and so unless it's Belhaven you just say "Heavy"

That song is just for us as we travel back. It’s for our own enjoyment only.
I’m going to be drinking a mix of Tennants, Newkie Brown and Babycham. When in Rome…

Don't forget that it will likely be the proper dimpled beer tankards that we'll be bibbing from Bobby
But yes, that song just prior to setting off sounds grand

Barrel glasses are for spirits and sodas Bobby
A good old tankard type glass is what I'm talking about, like on this emoji

At that discounted rate of £13.00 for 4 of them, I can afford to be Bobby

Have you seen Council of Geeks review of the latest Who episode yet? Oh they look resplendent in their suit and orange t shirt get up, hair styled in a pull back and is that a bit of silver I see being allowed to show in the hair?
VERY elegant.

I had a mouseover and saw the previewed stuff with them in an orange jacket and thought better of it Bobby.
I'm sure they'll be calling people who thought it was a mid-episode gay black bashers or something like that.
Or Indian girl rapists
People like that are always very good at projecting themselves onto others and then saying that being so is bad.
It's retardation and unwell with it Bobby

Actually they just said that they found it a decent opener for an RTD opener. One of the better ones but they admit that isn’t saying very much. Their favourite RTD opener is still Smith and Jones. They also pointed out some of the more subtle commentary (the cost of living crisis being reflected in Belinda’s living arrangements) and their dislike for the more unsubtle commentary ‘planet of the incels’.
They don’t do ratings but from their overall tone I would guess a 7/10.

Sounds like they gave it a touch higher than I would have Bobby. I'd have gone for a low 6 if it hadn't been for how the BBC and Disney have marketed it. But it's a firm 4 because of that
What did you think of The Doctor killing a man and then laughing about him being thrown away even though he could have been saved? I mean the episode over all?
I thought it was right up there with that wire scene in Genesis of the Daleks personally
