This extract, from 1980 "Cargo De Nuit" from Belgian TV, shows Frank Tovey (Fad Gadget, synth + Black & Decker), Phil Wauquaire (Bass synth) and Jean-Marc Lederman (synth) "miming" Ricky's Hand, Fad Gadget's second single. It was Mute 006.

@Efrasnel Not entirely true: this show where Fad appeared on was on every week early evening, and the UK had the Old Grey Whistle Test, Holland had a few interesting shows too, so it wasn't rare nor shown at impossible hours. Actually, when MTV started in Europe a few years later, the shows they were putting on covered a lot of the alternative scene.

@jockojonson17 : Don't be fooled, you had to be lucky to catch a show with music like this on European TV. Most of the time it was pop music galore. Not bad per se, but this was usually on late night.
