I'm a big fan of tv.cream - I've been attempting to collect their entire Top 100 Films on one format or another for a couple of years now. However, I refuse to buy 'Bugsy Malone', as I didn't see it until this year and, as a result of missing it at the 'correct' age (10 or 11 would've been ideal'). Back to You Tube Hi-Jinks though, here's a brilliant clip. Although I expect Stu's already well aware of it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHQcoPUEskAWith some backing music, it's got the makings of a classic B-Side! PancakeDave

Cheers, yeah, we flagged that one up on The Fall thread before! Re: backing music for that clip: It's Grim Up North (Part 2)?

Ok, ok, it goes on far too long, but it is genuine, and it's a group who at least me & Reuben's Rival from the FILO love, and there's probably some lessons to be learned within in, and it's a quiet Friday night, so: youtube.com/watch?v=nMIC_66l-YE

Jesus, that's irresponsible. Sounds like Dorothy being tortured by the Wicked Witch of the West. Poor kid.

Yay Stu! And: www.youtube.com/watch?v=maHmoHsYOBQ As a slightly embarassing sidenote: When I was wee, the intros to The Littlest Hobo and Lassie always - dunno why - used to make me cry, leaving my parents mystified as to why I would watch them every week... Anyway, just choked up watching The Littlest Hobo clip again just now. FFS why? It's a dog. In mild peril (and a hot air balloon, if the title sequence is to be believed!). Think I'll put it down to the fact I'm coming down with a cold and therefore a little more fragile than I would otherwise be. But really...good grief woman.

What I found odd was seeing the opening titles for programmes I'd not watched for over 25 years (The Red Hand Gang, The Famous Five etc) and finding that, though I knew I remembered the music, I also knew the sequence of clips in the title sequences very well too. As far as I'm concerned, this backs up my subscription to the theory that the mind never forgets anything, but merely loses the ability to access certain thoughts/memories until the correct neural pathway is discoverd (whether through the correct form of reminder, dream-states, hypnosis, etc). Lucid dreaming is interesting in this regard, 'cos I've occasionally been able to revisit places and people with a degree of detail that I wouldn't have been able to achieve through ordinary waking thoughts.

I keep meaning to write a book along the lines of childrens television in the 70s and 80s in relation to the rise of psychadelic substances

Including a bit of Chris(Who Wants To Be A Divorce-Court Millionaire?)Tarrant celebrity-nudity! Nice. And to think 'OTT' was the 'adult' version: there's a whole unrequited/gunged-SallyJames market on the internet these days.. In my memory, Madness were the special guests every week. Bring back Fun Factory! Or even (Bill Oddie's) Saturday Banana...

Mmmm Sally James. And weren't the ramones smoking up whilst being interviewed?! Tarrant supposedly set up many sketches at once and kept each segment to less than 2 mins for that frenetic anti-ritalin pace.

Never seen the Ramones clip: it may be out there somewhere... Didn't have any success a few weeks back when I tried to dig-up Iggy Pop humping a large teddy-bear on Number 73 either. Any other Saturday Morning Kids' TV/Pop Star Humiliation clips we should look for? Matt Bianco (and Five Star also?) being insulted on phone-ins? Pissed-up NKOTB?

Bickers (one imagines, despite Chadwick's claims to the contrary) probably played on the track - his photo's on the single sleeve - though he was on his way out. That's definitely Simon Walker in the video though. Not as great a lie as St Etienne's re-released 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart' video (Shame!), or those Darklands-era Mary Chain ones where John Moore is kept out-of-focus so people wouldn't notice Bobby Gillespie had left, but still undignified. I always felt "I never even liked your hair" was the daftest line in that song, but now I reckon "Television turns me on" is an egual contender. A future stand-up comedian (7th December?) of our aquaintance once came-out with the line "In the garden with The Hounds Of Love/ Nothing real, just a plastic bone." I laughed anyway.
