This program involved various people associated with the music business talking about camp pop.

It started by discussing the defintition of camp pop and the numerous different forms in which it appeared, from glam pop to manufactured bands with dance routines, and disco to bling bling rap.

Limahls contribution to this discussion was to point out "Even the butchest, most heterosexual characters in the music business, I mean go right back to Mick Jagger, who can be incrediably camp...and he loves women. Prince is so pretty, so femine and he's wearing heels".

The program then goes on to count down a Top Ten of camp artists, the number one being Elton John whom Limahl recalls, used to go around to see the Queen mother who loved to look at his antique jewlery.
