[tonee127]

Wow! Paul getting his clothes messy! I bet he was fuming about this.

[funkydreddUK]

This is why you shouldn't buy Alba VCRs.

[IAINW67]

It was Beta Max ;~)

[mmm888777]

whats the year?

[talisman487]

Hi, do you have the rest of this episode recorded?

[SmithersJones87]

"What advice do you have for new bands?"

"Which camera am I on...?" "Don't bother!"

We may or may not have a God, but we've got Weller.

[deltablued]

Despite the appalling quality of the video, Tizwas rang rings around swap shop! All these years later I can still quote most of the catch-phrases. Tizwas was for those who were somewhat anarchic, Swap Shop was for the safe middle class kids in the home counties.

The video was one of "Sally James' almost legendary pop interviews." (In this case it may well have been legendarily bad) Still it is a piece of pop history now)

Bring back Tizwas!!! This is what they want!! It's Oooooooo Kkkkk Aaay!!

[IAINW67]

I agree....but its spelt TISWAS as in Today Is Saturday Watch And Smile (or Wear)

[ml66ok]

@DaviniaUK appalling shit uk

[johnbarry1965]

@DaviniaUK I used to switch between TISWAS and SWAP SHOP. I bet Weller was chuffed getting his hair messed up and his threads!

[chrissikins]

Alright,my memory is MUCH clearer than the picture but, thanks for posting this, maybe they were on more than once, because i remember the "flan fight" was with a band called "Sad Cafe"( No,i suppose 10cc were on aswell that day) ...They were Mega-Heroes (still are ) but TisWas was a great leveller wasnt it?... yes bootjangler..remember the Muriel Gray interview on "the Tube" i bet thats here somewhere...

cheers Chris Morrell

[egiappaige]

it seems like and old tape being recorded playing on a black and white television - very "art school" :))

[bootjangler]

My God. This must be the interview that put Weller off ever being interviewed again!!!!

[Weremadog]

Thanks for that!

I had completely forgotten about The Jam appearing on TISWAS.  I actually watched that programme just because they were appearing - usually I was a Multi-Coloured Swap Swop watcher.

[ianclivewright]

"usually I was a Multi-Coloured Swap Swop watcher."

you have got to be kidding me, so you're the one who used to watch it, jeez.

[pressgang]

im not sure i should be happy about the christmas card list as groucho marx once said

I don't want to join a club that will accept me as a member

[pressgang]

No you have me wrong as i always thought that tiswas stood for this is shit watch another station i had no joy with noel tidy beard it was always tiswas, for the odd video of motorheads overkill, or the salute to sailors sally did each week showing off her legs

[harryshand]

I love the fact they're all covered in shit...sorry gunge!

[therebelraver]

it might be poor quality, but i like the ending :-)

[PWC1973]

I agree very poor quality! But good to watch...

[2nunsinabath]

I agree about Sally James.. I must have only been about 4 but I distinctly remember her in a basque throwing flour over a load of people in a cage. I bet this clip was recorded on one of them old videos that were seemingly made of wood.

[butterflycollector65]

Wow!! Step back through time or what.

[jdclover]

i wish someone would post the video of sally james on the kids show 'Safari' when she fell in a pool of water in t shirt and no bra. that was poetry.

[pressgang]

This  is shit watch another show

As i always thought it stood for

[rokkagee]

T his I s S aturday W atch A nd S mile

[Spiffy12]

I would gave this a 4 but give it a one for the poor quality

[IAINW67]

Agree the quality is awful, its off a video compilation you could buy in the smalls from the NME (its about 25yrs old)
