Show recorded on 11th July and broadcast 20th July 2000 on VH1.

Sonia, Limahl & Clare Limahl
This show took a light hearted look at 80's film soundtracks.
It was hosted by Claire Grogan (ex-'Altered Images' lead
singer most notable hit being 'Happy Birthday' in 1981).
Also appearing was Sonia (number 1 hit with 'You'll Never
Stop me Loving You') . Amongst the many topics covered...
Limahl spoke about how he was auditioned by Giorgio Moroder
to do the soundtrack for 'NeverEnding Story' and about the
success which resulted in him continually flying from one country
to another to that countries equivalent to 'Top of the Pops'
or Radio 1.
Sonia & Limahl Clare Grogan
Limahl named as his favourite movie soundtrack single 'What A
Feeling' by Irene Cara. This was chosen partly because of it
reminded him of his wild times (partying) in Los Angeles and
New York, and memories of attending the wedding of a
friend who married a famous comedian in LA.
As his favourite movie soundtrack album he chose 'For Your
Eyes Only', the premier of which he attended in
Leicester Square. Other notable guests were Roger Moore
and The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer.
Limahl told of how Sheena Easton actually appeared in the
title sequence, which was the first time that that had actually
been done in a Bond film.
