Prefab Sprout, performing 'A Prisoner Of The Past' (from the album 'Andromeda Heights') on The National Lottery show in 1997. This was sent in by Jim Williams, and has been brought to you by www.prefabsprout.net
Exacty - it's the playback at fault not the band - but what really pisses me off is that Wendy has been so sidelined that she is barely there - no wonder she decided not to record with Paddy any more
I remember this when it was aired. I married my now wife later that year, Prefab Sprout and Andromeda were the soundtrack to our love. Aww! Love the band, love Paddy. The new album is fab.
Blame the BBC for the miming, not Paddy; who cares anyway when the aim of the appearance was surely to bring the work of this genius to a larger audience.

@Aviva2121 I believe that Neil (and Martin?) had quit the band during that period.

Nicely done link by Bob, ever the pro! Especially seeing as he probs didn`t know who they are.

That's not Neil Conti on drums! Who is that and I wonder why Neil wasn't there? I love Prefab Sprout; I love Paddy.

Great song - Paddy is a genius. He looks uncannily like Macca on here!

So sad that he lip-synched.
