Brilliant sot, I've been looking for this for years. FYI It was originally shown in the early hours of Christmas Day 1988 and I taped it because I had a DJ gig that night so I was able to watch it over and over again; sadly the video in question disappeared a long time ago, so I’m delighted to have stumbled upon it again! The Cleo Rocos one a few weeks later was also quite good (despite the fact that Rivron spent most of the programme asking her to get her kit off...)
Rivron had the interviewing/hosting skills of a dead stoat in a block of ice. He's interviewing someone who is not only is considered the father of British alternative comedy, but who is also an accomplished musician, and writer, and yet he sits there looking bored off his tits as if he doesn't want to be there (or is that the "joke"?). He later refers to Spike as a "pratt" in another video. If he had achieved 10% of what Spike had, then he might be on TV now!
Cheers sot, been mooching around for this for years. The one with Freddy Star was just sublime. No one else seems to remember this stuff! Again, many thanx!
@docscrote No probs. Wasn't that keen on the Freddie Starr one so I didn't keep it - I think he was off the booze at the time so the usual descent into drunkeness was lacking. Got the Cleo Rocos one here somewhere though. I'll dig it out at some point.
The best bunker show was with Mel books, can't find it on you tube :-(

why would you get spike on the show just to be rude? what a waste of time. watch Room 101 with spike instead.
