Ken Bishop's Nice Twelve - Subterranean Homesick Blues

This is a clip from "The Young Ones" episode "Cash", featuring a band named "Ken Bishop's Nice Twelve" performing Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues". The "band" was really just a one-off conglomerate consisting of Squeeze members Jools Holland (conducting and wearing a yellow beret) & Chris Difford; plus Stewart Copeland of The Police and other musicians and comedians including Derek Griffiths, Martin Dobson, Simon Brint (as Ken Bishop), Rowland Rivron (as Duane Bishop) Peter Brewis (who also wrote TYO closing theme) and more (can anyone name the other fellows?).
This clip was edited from most subsequent DVD and VHS copies of "The Young Ones" due to copyright problems. (I found it on a Spanish copy.) Enjoy.

Yup, Rowland Rivron's in it. (Check out my full description.)

Thanks for uploading this! I remember this fondly, especially Stewart physically removing the other guy from the drum kit.

It's a shame that rights fees (or whatever) are keeping the original music off the DVDs.

Aaah Mister Copeland, love him!!! This is ace, and its an ace version.. the bass is brill on it.

Jools Holland?? lol

@adamgrocco Not only do I prefer this to the original, I thought it WAS the original. I never stumbled over the Dylan version for another couple of years.

I can't believe this hasn't ever been released SOMEWHERE, given all the things Jools has his fingers in.

@ftwjme It's Simon Brint AKA Ken Bishop, who dies recently. There's a nice tribute video featuring his stuff with Rowland Rivron, AKA Duane Bishop, on youTube.

Who is the guy who says "Don't wear sandals" at 1:32? Kind of looks like John Otway (Body Talk guy from the Summer Holiday episode).

How in all the millions of times I've watched this did I not notice that it was Stewart Copeland?! I guess too much going on!
