The group made their TV debut in late 1983, when they performed on BBC's
Pebble Mill at One (1972), in a special 'youth' themed episode. According to their father/manager, Buster, RCA were on the phone offering a record deal before their performance had ended. The deal was signed in February 1984 and their first single with Tent/RCA, "Hide and Seek", was released in the spring.
