I suspect it was banned because for a fleeting fraction of a second you glimpse her pubic hair. You have to really look for this, though, and I wasn't sure it that waas a trick of the light and shadow at first. But as she gets her knickers off, you do see a dark shadow under the water in the righ...

Then again, in the "Float On" zodiac commercial, Aquarious has an egg shoot its load all over her face, and that was perfectly acceptible for TV...

Originally "Mr Slater's Parrot" by the Bonzo Dog Band and dating from 1967. Neil Innes' royalties on "Urban Spaceman" must have run out, evidently...

And to think Simon Cowell and the other philistines who mind the gates these days would throw her out of the audition before she'd performed a single note... would she have got any sort of break at any other time than the late sixties?

Not bad, but not the original LP version I was lo

oking for and which must be arounfd here somewhere!

Sir Terry Pratchett, "Reaper Man" and "Hogfather" - the essential soundtrack! "Non Timetus Messor" indeed.

It's also got Tchaicowsky's "Romeo and Juliet" in it - the main theme and fight sequence

Ah! I thought there was a longer version... they're showing a far shorter version of this ad on British TV now, humourless bastards. The advert currently being screened has been censored - it establishes the fact the girl's skirt has been pulled up over her waist and shows her knickers for a fr...

Actually, 2095 people have thumbed this down as it's a breach of the trades descriptions act - she doesn't strip, just wiggles around in her bra and pants and shows no sign whatsoever of actually getting them off, as is clearly implied in the word "strip". "sexy strip tease" this ain't, and she ...

Well, it twats the Baby Spice version stright into the skip...

you can see how this track was made for their pioneering laser light show....

Did the lead girl in this video also play Suzie in the vid of "The Marshall Plan"? Not only that, there's a brief cameo from somebody who is a ringer for Patti Smith, and we have Allen Lanier and one other doing a "Blues Brothers" reprise.. and the mad monks from Fire of Unknown Origin!

Liberace gay....

The rather fey dancers look as if they were shot seperately and edited into the film afterwards. Was Ayers set up? Maybe he did the video and mimed to the song against a blue screen with minimal props, and the producer promised him he'd blend some suitable pictures into the b...

Was that advert at the start meant to be a piss-take on the parasite loan sharks who prey on the financially illiterate? The long-legged girl in the shirt skirt flashing her thighs was there to distract, right? But any firm lenfing the indigent £750 is going to want its pound of flesh - you're pr...

Just rediscovered this... years and years before Paul Simon and Graceland, African rhythm hits the charts. Would this have been banned in the old South Africa, that bastion of inter-racial liberality?

Not even Radio Seven seems to repeat this show... I'd love to hear more of íAsso! - Spanish Detective!, Captain Invisible and the See-Thru Kid, and some of the set-pieces, like the FA Cup final of 1983 re-written as a Shakespeare tragedy... although I canb see the historical importance of this ...

Why do people grade "Club Ninja" a rubbish LP when it has tracks like this? Sheer perfection.

That is definitely Charles O'Connor from the Horslips playing fiddle (2:56). On this sort of track, why am I not surprised?

Well, that's me told off, then...

'''I must have put the wrong ears on, the last time I listened to "promises" and thought "that sounds intertestingly reminiscent of the Yardbirds in late Eric Clapton days"

Stil, I bow to the opinion of such an articulate expert!

The comment about this series never having been repeated is interesting, as I'm almost certain I saw repeats of this show on Granada in the early 1970's, when I'd have been just coming up to ten years old. But then, this was in the days when ITV had local regions with greater freedom in what they...

Apparently promised to Hawkwind, who alleged in court that they'd advanced Michael Moorcock several thousand pounds to write songs for them, it went to BOC on the day, who offered MM more money for it... it took a lawuit to sort out rights to record both this song and "Black Blade". But a grea...

There's a homage reference to this song in Terry Pratchett's comic fantasy novel "I Shall Wear Midnight", in which a witch animates an equestrian statue to serve as a getaway vehicle from those who want to introduce her to the joys of being burnt at the stake...

Sheer comic genius.

Made in England, I notice... traffic on the left and a London Transport sign at the bus stop...

I thought at first this sounded a bit like Mott the Hoople and that I'd heard a different version somewhere else - didn't Ian Hunter (solo) or Mott The Hoople (group) have a hit ewith this in the UK? Hunter being on the songwriting credits makes it clear.
