I want to find out does the music videos of Broderick Smith'S Big Combo's Faded Roses, WARD 13's See Venice And Die, Boys' Hurt Me Babe, Mi-Sex's Falling In And Out and Darryl Cotton's My Little Red Book were official or Countdown-produced while being shown on episode 286 and also, does the music video of Colleen Hewett's Gigolo was official or Countdown-produced and what's the same music video was about?

Ward 13 wasn't a music video, but was a snippet of their Countdown performance of the song (which was shown earlier this month in full), I believe.
Darryl Cotton looked like it could have been just a Countdown performance/'video' made by them.
Colleen Hewett looked like it was a music video, as it had an elaborate scene change, which wouldn't have really been possible if it was a Countdown performance. But it was only a snippet of the video shown, during a Chartbusters segment. I'll upload it to YouTube, as it looks like no-one else has yet.

Yay! I'm surprised i have never heard this song before esp. after hearing Gavin say it is No.27 nationally. I wonder what it's highest position was nationally? Mr Purser has the song uploaded on YouTube from a 45. The sound is great, as all his 45's are. I have played it many a times since the Countdown airing. Thanks Jason for requesting this episode. One of a hanful of gems from retro month 2017!

'Gigolo' actually peaked at #28 nationally. Countdown were then using their own chart (based on what, I don't know); hence the occasional tied positions in the top 10 you never see on the Kent/ARIA charts. They didn't start using the Kent Music Report chart (then licensed by ARIA) until July 1983:

Interesting - wonder how close Countdown's top 10's were to the kent top 10's? Whenever I think of how a song did - for instance Girls On Film - I always think of the Countdown top 10. #9 IIRC. Also I wonder how many Countdown #1's weren't #1's?

'Girls On Film' peaked at #11 on the Kent Music Report Chart.
'Babooshka' is one Countdown #1 that wasn't a Kent Report #1 (it peaked at #2).
