Part Two of a snowy week begins with a video called 'Ski Sunday falls' - simply 'A collection of the most dramatic falls from BBC Ski Sunday from the 1980's'. Or 'wipeouts' as we called them... "He's Gone" and "he's lost a ski" just some snippets of the commentary ...

The footage is a bit flaky [old] and even the tape malfunctions just after the mid point, much like the downhill skiers, while the action ends with the excellent 'Ski Sunday' theme tune > ‘Pop Looks Bach’ by Sam Fonteyn. Once the ultra-compact Sony Walkman had been invented we could listen and ski along to this music as well. 
Two songs are played during this compilation and as Gerry Rafferty's ‘Get It Right Next Time’ is interrupted by commentary here's the complete song as this week's Star Track. 
1979 track from his 'Night Owl' album, also released as a single.
