Half Man Half Biscuit on Byker Grove

[pavedoh]

Jemma picks up her dodgy, pirated HMHB album then just a few short years later is tragically electrocuted. That's karma for ya.

Did they ever make the Top 20? I know Dickie Davies Eyes got in the Top 40 but Top 20?

[panicbeach69]

Does he have any Gaye Bykers on Acid ?

[Isobellyjellybean]

@panicbeach69 No. He had no Gaye Bykers On Acid but he did have some Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds.

Home taping is killing satirical indie-rock music.

[wesmatron]

I bought an Albert Hammond bootleg off that guy/

Would you steal a car?

Would you rob a granny's purse?

Taping the top 20 of the radio with your Waltham twin-deck is illegal and you will get dry bummed in prison if you do it!

[agghtee]

Jesus, I went from watching Byker to listening to Peel and now I'm Googling HMHB.... Murdoch has got it right, the BBC are just one big communist plot to make you listen to... erm, Four lads from the Wirral!

[VodkaSquirrel]

I actually remember this scene because I wondered who on earth "Half Man Half Biscuit" were. Why? What is wrong with my stupid brain that it remembers children's TV from this long ago and not important things?! Thanks for the clip ;)

[JamesBentley1981]

@VodkaSquirrel I'm glad it's not just me that this happened to.

[ady10001]

ey up everyone i Love HMHB what is the best CD to buy????

[1970ferret]

back in  th dhss is the one to get !!

[zugthug]

for laughs you cant beat 'voyage to the bottom of the road', for more melancholy and whimsy with your laughs, go with 'this leaden pall', but everyones a winner! :)

[billydai]

[exproggo]

What a controversial issue to tackle. Piracy. Ha Ha

Love Half Man Half Biscuit

[beanyspoon]

this clip is awesome

old skool biker

meets half man half biscuit

i love this band, they're awesome!

[Teddy3001]

If memory serves, they get a mention on a CBBC adaptation of "Elidor" by Alan Garner, a fantasy tale of static electricity gone wrong. Must have been some sort of game amongst kids' scriptwriters; like the Newsnight anchors dropping references to the Fall into reports

[amycharl]

im a teenage girl, and im going to see them 2night, grew up listening to them, but to be fair im one of about 3 or 4 people i know that know them

[donnienic]

Jeff man, ah canna see!

[JudiChicagoX1000000]

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[headaldino]

As much as I love the band, what are the odds of some weird hairy bloke selling bootleg "top twenty" music having HMHB in his collection?

[scallyhunter]

byker grove! they also featured my other favourite band, ozric tentacles, in the background of every episode!

[wideernie]

When she says 'Half Man Half Biscuit' it is like someone has opened up the portal to an alternative universe. What HMHB album is that he gives her????????

Mat Wilson, Newcastle

Young Laddy - "Who's your favourite band"

Young Lassie - "Half Man Half Biscuit"

Me - Pissing myself laughing for aboot 20 minutes

[daryl1q1]

Of course, HMHB have a strong following amongst teenage girls. They fall right into their demograph
