THE ANSWERS:

Cast – on the picture on the wall, bowing.
China Crisis – broken china under the TV.
The Christians – 2 Cliff Richards/clergymen.
The Coral – in the fishbowl on the TV.
Dead or Alive – this foxed a lot of people, Lord Lucan and Elvis on the wall, dead, or are they alive?
Echo and the Bunnymen – sitting on the stairs, a rabbit wearing a suit, & the La! sound is repeating above him.
The Farm – at the top of the stairs behind the baby.
A Flock of Seagulls – through the window.
Frankie Goes to Hollywood – on the TV is meant to be Frank Spencer, standing in front of the Hollywood sign.
Gerry and the Pacemakers – spelt differently, but the mouse, Jerry, is clutching his chest which is ticking.
Half Man Half Biscuit – one of the Christians is holding a gingerbread man.
The Hoovers – at the top of the stairs, not many people might remember this band though.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – on the picture on the wall there is an orchestra in the pit, in the dark.
Rain – out through the doorway it’s raining.
The Real Thing – another one that foxed people, on the TV there is a bottle of Rola Cola and a can of the ‘Real Thing’ – Coca Cola.
Shack – out through the window on the beach.
Space – again out through the window, planets and stars.
The Stairs – the stairs!
Teardrop Explodes – the baby’s tears are exploding.
Top – on the stairs, another band that not many people might remember.
The Wild Swans – on the calendar on the wall.

Very vague ones:
Elvis Costello – Elvis on the wall.
Gemini - from after 2003 however the christians are twins in the picture!
New Atlantic – the ocean through the window.
Smaller – one of the Christians is much smaller than the other.
The Spinners – I didn’t think of this but someone said they thought the spinning top on the stairs was The Spinners.
The Tractors – there is a tractor amongst the farm at the top of the stairs.
