I remember seeing, 'The Borgias" To a 12 year old at the time, watching naked women dancing about made BBC2 suddenly change from being totally boring to, 'must-watch', TV!! LOL
I remember watching the Grundy incident, I was only 10 at the time and even then thought it was hilarious! Steve Jones calling him a "dirty fucker" for making a pass at Siouxsie Sioux, lol! :)
Really? I've commented myself on the similiarity between some ruralist-hippie values and the political right, but I wouldn't go that far. On balance, I'm glad it went out.
Of course, the Pistols-Grundy episode only went out in the London area, contrary to popular myth (and to the claim in one of the next day's tabloids that someone in Rotherham had kicked in their TV in disgust).
'Live into 85' must be the last time "gay" was used on TV, in a new production, in its original sense.

The sound crap in this. Can't people transfere video recordings to digital for better sound.

Unfortunately Part 3 has been removed from YouTube, apparantely due to a violation of Community Guidelines - I do not know exactly why.

Note I have now added a detailed running order in the description panel to help people find clips of programmes they want to watch.

He also played almost the same role in "Operation Double 007", the spoof that had Neil Connery (Sean's brother).

I bet its policies made a lot more sense than our current politician's.

Looking at what the Albion Free State stood for, it could have been Al-Qaida under another name. Mike S.

If you watch Louis Theroux's programme about survivalists in the USA, it shows a very surprising mixture of far-left and far-right intertwining.

That's pretty interesting. I'm trying to think through some of the mysteries of the 70s and I'd like to hear more about that.
The Albion Free State stuff may have something to do with the Blakean fantasies of the poet Michael Horovitz. Don't quote me but.
