Pop Watch is twenty-five years old and though it hasn’t always had its finger on the right pulse, it has at least been around long enough to occasionally get things right. The episode just beginning now is one of those occasions.

As the opening credits roll, we see a mass of silhouetted dancers furiously stepping to the recently remixed theme tune sung, as always, by The Pop Watchers.

Currently hosted by everyone’s latest favourite presenter, Bright Diamond Davies, Pop Watch is a weekly rundown of downloads, hit tunes, interviews, games, jokes and other very jolly popular things that the show’s ageing producers hope will one day make it the most popular music show around.
From his early days as an onscreen scenery shifter via a brief stint as a midnight weather man, Bright Diamond Davies has now found what he hopes is his big break and is determined to do everything he possibly can to make himself a permanent fixture on Pop Watch.
Sparkling fake diamonds stud a baseball cap which Bright Diamond continually repositions live on air, causing the studio lights to diffuse from the top of his head in a thousand blinding directions all at once.
Everyone on television needs a catch phrase and Bright Diamond punctuates every sentence with the now legendary (but not always for the right reasons) ‘Well how’s that, then? Ka-boooey!’
