Kate Bush on Russell Harty

[deadeyedgirls]

Whats with all the weird homophobia directed at the (long dead) presenter?

You people need to realise its not the 1970's anymore. Jeez.

Though I suppose it *is* encouraging that you, as senior citizens, seem to be getting to grips with modern technology.

[Ampex196]

Kate Bush was (and still is) amazing!

I liked Russell Harty: he was good to work with and was certainly nobody's fool!

Russell had a style of presentation that endeared him to the viewing public. He was a very, very nice man and a true professional. Sadly missed!

Are those EMI 2005 cameras briefly appearing in shot???

[SquishedButterfly]

starting to really hate russell harty. who the fuck did he think he was? someone should have got a high pressure hose and blasted that sand out of his arse the pompous twat.

his show would have been fuck all if it were just him and no stars, and yet he's always making snide little remarks to them. fucking snake.

[Intraverseneptune]

Russel Harty wins the award for the worlds worst interviewer but for that reason I think he is the best! He is obviously a condescending queer with a total disrespect for his interview subjects and thinks they're all stupid which I have to side with Russel; you'd have to be pretty lame to go on one of these chat shows in the first place but then it was back in the seventies and eighties.

Russel obviously is a crap interviewer but he will be sorely missed!

[NanoFactory]

Kate Bush is always so dignified and lady-like. She puts the men to shame.

[blrr5blrr]

wonder if the boxing gloves were because the previous week grace jones was on his show hitting him

[MissNeverForEver]

Love Kate!!

[rapunzel1313]

omg russel harty is such a patronising overentitled creep..... check out his other awfull interviews ie david bowie .

[marshfish]

@darrowby1972. you gota be kidding m8. Aerial is a total masterpiece. ok, it took me couple of listerns, but it is now my favorite. but i love them all anyway. Aerial is just sublime. try listerning again m8.

[TheKarmacanic]

Oh My God... I remember watching this live and this is the first time i've seen it since. I can't believe it was 30 years ago!! Kate you're one of a kind and it's a shame the years between each new album seems to progressively increase. As we're now entering a new decade, maybe 2010 will be a good year for your next... and like the last, better make it a double! You're still great Kate. xx

[darrowby1972]

I hope you are right. Because her last LP Aerial, was a load of tripe!

[cathkin33]

when the audience laugh at 5.15 i,d like to give kate a reassuring cuddle....and ,well you know the rest............

[integration1000]

What's the rest?

[WOWdrops]

Because of Eric Fenby & Kate Bush, I made an audio/music edit of Ken Russell's film about the whole thing. The first song on the piece is Kate's Delius (Song Of Summer) & it follows from there. You can find it here thepiratebay(dot)org/torrent/5­017453

Enjoy

[hiyadroogs]

Not a great surprise that Harty didn't want to be kissed by Kate Bush. Unlike every other hetero man in UK

[arosegrowingold]

"He would have accepted that as a very gracious tribute"

Well said, Dr Fenby

And don't the audience go crazy for Kate!

And doesn't she look uncomfortable?

[equinechick569]

This guy is a total prick, but his sense of humor in the beggining of the clip is funny xD

[Broeddenhert]

The 'Hammer Horror' part of this vid is very funny.

But you need to know what happened to Harty when he interviewed Grace Jones.

[GDK1]

@ the 8:32 mark of clip "BBC TV Hell - Chat Shows Part 1"

It's pretty benign as "attacks" go.

[cathkin33]

just think, hartys eyeing up julian even though hes sitting next to the personification of female beauty !

[2puttking]

fuck off harty you big fat poof!

[paulreed1]

Looking back on this now, Harty was a little arrogant and condescending and Fenby was a little bit dimissive of Kate. Kate remained gracious throughout. I don't think she would get the same treatment today

[tadge72]

@paulreed1 i agree, but she was a young pop singer at the time rather than the accomplished artist she is today- although I love NFE a lot. This was the way people were treated on the bbc back then!

[rocha39]

great vid, thanks :) Harty should have noticed Lloyd Webber wanting to have an opinion there, it would have been interesting, and helped keep his eyes off Katey's jumper :D

[martianboy]

Why cut the Delius song?

[cathkincat]

grace was the precursor to modern celebrities .crass,attention grabbing and no class.

[FallOutBoyUK]

hey people, if you wanna see grace jones acting like a total douchebag and slapping someone, go to google, type in "grace jones slap" and you should see the video on some website called broadcaster or something.

She's such a bitch!!! She goes mad!!!

[xlxslxlcxlx]

Does anyone know a link to see the attack with grace jones

[FallOutBoyUK]

yeah i wanna see her slap him!

[newmark401]

Grace Jones slapping Russell Harty is on here, under "BBC TV Hell - Chat Shows Part 1", I think. It's some way in.

[zack11993]

Kate looks amazing! Especially in that jumper! :D!

[xenussister]

The Ken Russell show about Delius is now on DVD in the US! Look for "Ken Russell at the BBC" on amazon! Yay, it's about time.

[goodtimetone]

too bad kate aged poorly

[algoyo]

Very enjoyable. Thanks.

[meatb0t]

bugger. I searched for "Russell Harty Grace Jones" and I still don't get what's going on at the beginning of the clip.

[newmark401]

If you type "BBC TV Hell - Chat Shows Part 1" (it's over there in the list just to the right), you'll find that this includes the Grace Jones/Russell Harty episode, though it takes ages to get there.

[spursloyal71]

Fuck me Kate gives me the horn

[tonypendrey]

You romantic old fool, you !

[DevaneB09]

Very Interesting.

[Dirtylitlman]

I really want to see that interview with Grace Jones and Russell Harty now!!!

Can anyone post this on youtube and let me know!!!Thanks!

[Sebastian1984]

hey, i can´t find the clip what's going on at the beginning of this show :(

Grace Jones was bad to Russell Harty

right?

[Symphonyofflowers]

The clip with Grace Jones and Russell Harty was deleted some time ago. But what happened was that Grace Jones got angry because Russell Harty turned his back to her so she started attacking him and hitting him.

[DominatorMCMLXXVIII]

Okay, I give up. Who's Eric Fenby?

[RobNickel001]

some queer, I'm sure.

[ketmaniac]

No, don't give up. Just play the clip again. The presenter does an excellent job of summarising exactly who Eric Fenby was. All you have to do is pay attention.

[DominatorMCMLXXVIII]

Jesus Christ, even back in the day chat shows were monopolised by, ahem, queers.

[newmark401]

I know, great, isn't it?

[meatb0t]

The BBC is a great British institution.

[stumpyboll]

maybe hed still have been alive if hed have taken precautions.

[TB35]

sexy as ever ! beautiful

[lookatdoor]

I really like the music for the end credits

[Jezetha]

Great to see Eric Fenby!

[Katebushfan4lyfe]

Kates voice is so soft compared to the rest of them and u really have to strain to hear her! SHES FABULOUS

[lionheart3419]

Very intriguing video clip about the origins of the song, 'Delius-Song of Summer' by Kate Bush. Sir Fred Delius would have been proud of her indeed. Beautiful track off the superb album, Never For Ever. A very interesting and historical piece of information too. Thank you ladrugaddicto!

[ladrugaddicto]

Nah, don't mention it ) I just uploaded the thing. Kudos to people who recorded, ripped it etc.

Hope the videos won't get removed again.
