Did anyone see last night's Journeyman on Sky One?

It's about a guy who travels back in time to put some problems right.  Well, in last night's episode he was transported back to 1984.  And the music playing in the background was, yes you've guessed it, Der Kommissar.  They played the intro, first verse and first chorus.

Anyway, it got me thinking.  What if we could travel back in time to right an injustice?  What would we change?

How about getting auntie to reverse the decision that cut ATF from TOTP back in 1979?

Der Kommissar was sung last Saturday as part of a  radio 2 comedy sketch

I would go back and make life in the city a massive world wide hit

I'm with you DR Mike. It should never have been cut.

I would like to not have sold my first bass guitar, I miss it still after nearly 30 years! That is an injustice to me anyway!

How much cash in royalties for the Journeyman music?

Its a massive show.

As a matter of interest and as a guide,I know that the songwriters in The Specials get about 30k a year from royalties(each).

It was quite a good blast of Der K too, wasn't it?  Not a lot of talking over it.

I'm hoping for some ATF to turn up in Ashes To Ashes...
