  • Hilarious!

    what a miserable, hateful little man the presenter is: "self constructed freak, ... skinny lad!" nice to hear authentic 1970's voices. That why he was so unique, so above the plodding, grey brown of the time.

  • Those girls and old ladies are so funny Wish I had been there outside his dressing room door lol

  • Loving the none-too-subtle use of the Clockwork Orange theme music.

  • Bernard Falk was born in Southport, and began his career with the Birkenhead News. He played Liverpool's Cavern Club as a member of 'Tony Snow and his Blizzards', later re-named 'The Bohemians'. Later completely forgotten.

    In 1971 Falk was imprisoned for 4 days in Belfast's Crumlin Road jail for contempt of court. He had interviewed a member of the IRA but refused to reveal his source to the police.

    Falk died of a heart attack aged 47. Bowie lives on.

  • Cripes. David Bowie ran off with my wife, stabbed my mom with a rusty lawnmower blade, and fooled me on eight separate occasions with the "help yourself to the hard candies in my codpiece" trick, and even I don't hate him as much as Bernard does.

  • @offpatsmile isn't that Thatcher at 4:56? (j/k)

  • @quillber that's because it was from the soundtrack!

  • Interviewer was Bernard Falk a failed 60s band member. Might account for his tone, or might just be that he was a twat.

  • the narrator would have been better off describing Maggie Thatcher as Joseph Goebells with that tone and attitude...

    nice to have been right and him wrong back then when I was following Bowie round the country - and the proof being the record...

    who was that presenter again?

  • Happy birthday David Bowie!

  • Brilliant - the BBC commentator is a twat

  • @jorgel0124

    YES..you're flamed....don't dare to put that M&M in the same sentence as early Bowie.
