The party scene was Show Me by Dexy’s Midnight Runners – not INXS.

The toilets at the Blitz were downstairs but Keeley Hawes character chased the clown at one level. Also, by 1981 Boy George was not the cloakroom boy and also that version of ‘Fade to Grey’ is much later than 1981

As the lift opens to them shagging on the chair you hear the classic Heaven 17: I don’t need that (Facist Groove Thang).
What a corker…..
