Slightly differently to the rest of the week's entries, this wasn't a surprise big hit or novelty appeal, just a young indie rock band in the right place (the mid-level touring circuit) at the right time (1997). Known for their catastrophic energy at the time, it's really a matter of whether Ross Cummins goes to the crowd first or whether the crowd comes to him, in the end deciding on what must have been a show first. Nirvana's may be more famous, The Real Thing from the other week more awkward, but I don't think TOTP has seen a more populated stage invasion. See how Jayne Middlemiss sticks resolutely to the script afterwards. Great big edit to cover a VHS cockup too. DIY to the last.
