Remember the very next line after this sequence?

"Doodly, you're turning into a video zombie!"

...and here we are watching it on YouTube - almost prophetic.

This was made as part of a series of musicals called 'Pookiesnackenburger in'. produced by AFTER IMAGE for Channel 4. Directed by Jane Thorburn.

Dustbin Dance was reshown as part of the series ALTER IMAGE.

Other musicals were 'Pop go the Asteroids' 'Hellbent' 'Restoration Comics: TheDraughtsman's P45' 'River of Love' and 'School for Cool'

Both series now reside in the BFI archive vaults awaiting digitisation.

My God - I remember recording this... I worked as a set builder on this series - we filmed it all out at Royal Victoria Docks (all very barren and windswept in those days). Luke, Steve and I drove around collecting dustbins all over the place, then rigging them up in one of the huge warehouse spaces... great fun!

Hi Andy,

Sue Bradley, the only female memeber of the Pookies, is my other half. We'd love to get copies of any of the material you have on VHS please! Email me at tim dot pilcher at ntlworld dot com.

Hi Andy.

Do you think that you might have the episode featuring the spoof band ' Hell Bent' ??

A rather bizarre but fab episode airing song like 'hell bent' 'Ashes to ashes, dust thy chopping board lightly with plain brown flour' and some spinal tap 'esque Morris dancing..........???

I've searched for years for it, but even the BBC say they have no copies on archive ???

many thanks. eddie
