The Friday Canon: DEPECHE MODE

MODEFAX:

Dave joined the band after hearing them rehearse in a scout-hut!

They used 'People Are People' as the theme tune for agreeable children's telly programme It'll Never Work!

Dave technically died for 2 minutes in 1996!

You get THIRTEEN ticks across all these UK Top 40 hits. Blimey!
