A strange thing to come soon on the 1st December edition (presented by Lily Savage) is both Mariah Carey and Celine Dion are introduced as satellite performances, but both are actually professionally made videos, shot on film and with editing that can't remotely be confused with live (or as live) performances. The latter was specifically made for TOTP, but it's still quite clearly not a live performance. I guess it's possible both were fed to Elstree via satellite, but they're still presented as if the act is there waiting to perform.
