@FredNurk100 Not only was Angus Deayton involved in both projects, so were Philip Pope (the writer/lead singer of the HBGBs) and Michael Fenton Stevens. Many Radio Active sketches were adapted and used on KYTV. This was fairly easy to do because they actually performed them on stage on various tours and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where I saw them. I was never able to get a copy of their 2nd LP though.

I am fairly sure that I saw this live on an episode of KY-TV back in the early 1990s. Angus Deayton was involved with both projects. Can anyone confirm this?
