Sound the Novelty Song klaxon!
"Chalk dust - the umpire strikes back" - The Brat
A semi-rap number between John McEnroe and a generic umpire. Done on the same stage The Belle Stars were using not ten minutes ago.
The crowd raise tennis balls while hand-jiving, and the performance ends with the umpire shooting The Brat with a machine gun.
The role of The Brat is played by Roger Kitter, later known as Captain Bertorelli in "'Allo 'Allo".

"Da da da" - Trio. That's ... a bit much for 7.50 on a schoolnight. Probably explains why it was also snipped. "Too late" - Junior. Zoo are dancing in the foreground, and some shots from the floor. Isn't this the stage used by The Brat not four minutes ago? Was that tennis performance (gasp!) pre-recorded?! Did Michael Hurll lie to us!?!!!?1!>! #TOTP #Junior
