John Kettley (Is A Weatherman) video

[evilrobottolhurst]

the only one of ALL of these I remember is "Johnny Marr he plays guitar". These boys should have been writers for the Dandy!

I came here because I read that Wincey Willis is now tweeting people. That's 2012!

[trench124]

I was in an old recording studio in Newcastle a couple of years back and found a couple of box loads of the singles of this piled up in the junk.

[monocle3]

@trench124 Wow, that will be the old Impulse Studios, part of Neat Records in Wallsend. What's it like now? What did you do with the singles? I thought the whole place had closed down.

[trench124]

@monocle3 I picked a couple up but the whole place has been demolished now along with the old borough theatre next door. It was all closed down when I was there and the place had been pretty trashed

[monocle3]

@trench124 Just had a look at the road on Street View. It shows the building still standing almost as I remember it. Good memories recording there back when I was 18. Shame it's gone now, but times change and it was a bit of a dump I guess!

[monocle3]

Yes! Yes it totally is. Good spot. And the guy went on to be in an awful pop duo called Yell who were the big new thing for a brief moment in about 1989.

[feckingbillgates]

Is that "Our Rita" from Johnny Briggs presenting the show at the start of the clip?

[andytillott]

David Icke rides a bike lol

[LimaLima95]

Andy Crane was gutted to learn he had no brain.

[BlueSmurf10]

Maybe someone should dub 'Richard Keys has got no knees' with 'Richard Keys has got no job'...

[macalauresmuse]

Oh I remember Ian McCaskill and his HULLOOOOOOOS.!

love this song :)

[upbfb]

Takes me back. Brilliant.

[bladesmark1]

[Garrywith2rs]

Whats with the goldfish?! lol

[VyraManic]

This is a catchy song and an awesome video too. Simple yet effective. They must have had fun making it.

[RichyO1977]

Why the shitty greyscale all the way through? Fuck sake, that ruined it for me...

[monocle3]

@RichyO1977 I'm afraid it was copied from an old VHS tape so the quality is pretty rubbish. I did contact the BBC to see if they had the original, but it's long gone.

[AidanLunn]

@monocle3 Even so, there shouldn't be any greyscale.

The fault is probably in whatever you used to transfer the cliip from VHS to PC.

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

I bought this record!!!

[TheDarry1]

I could not agree more! In the age of 24hrs news it semms like a weather forcast is every 15mins. I can`t even name 1 weather presenter nowdays apart from Darren Bent and all the rest are... and all the female presenters are pregnant! I remember "Got it wrong again" Fish, reliable Kettley. nervous Mckaskill and winkey Giles! "Well that`s all from me, goodnight" (wink)

[Jermyn78]

[SixEightySeven]

I remember this was played loads of times on Childrens BBC (But First This) in that Summer, 1998. Haven't heard it in years. Great tune!

[RadioBazterd]

It's just great isn't it - you just can't help but love it.

Rock on Stephen.

[rhinoswellies]

What's the female presenter called?

[JFBridge]

Sue Devaney

[russ7510]

what a great tune this is,simon parkin is always larkin you cant beat lyrics like that lol

[rhinoswellies]

None are characters nowadays yet years ago there was Bernard Davey, John Kettley, michael Fish, Bill Giles and Ian McCaskill. I can't even name one now.

I saw McCaskill on the tram in Sheffield a few years ago and every single person who got on at various stops shouted "Hulllllooooo" Brilliant.

[lilmisspino]

BUT SImon Parkin is now ..... A WEATHERMAN!!!

Go figure?

[clemthegem]

@rhinoswellies There are still 'characters'. Rob McElwee, Daniel Corbett, and Tomasz Schafernaker are my favourites.

[splinterbonce]

What a blast from the past !!!!! I still have this record and also their full cassette. How sad is that ?? I had a mad mad crush on Stephen from being about 12. Needless to say he broke my heart when I was 15. lol Good to see your still singing Stephen. Keep it up

[FaT3oYJG]
