Glam Metal Detectives - One Of Us Is A Robot

From episode 01 of the 90s BBC comedy series. The show was a collection of various sketches presented in the style of someone channel surfing. The Glam Metal Detectives, or GMD for short, was the title sketch from the show. The show only lasted for one series and only 3 episodes were ever released on video.

Is the one with the dreads the bloke that used to be in Eastenders? Paul Truman or something?

I wish I had a guitar whose pitch changed when I turned a throttle handle... :( I used to watch this when I was about 10, initially hating it for shifting The X-Files from the mum-friendly 9pm to the dangerously-close-to-bedtime 9:30.

The theme tune was written by Lol Creme and Trevor Horn - with Lol Creme's son Lolagon's band along with Jeff Beck playing the tune

I loved the show. The intro song was written by none other than Jeff Beck who's good mates with the director Peter Richardson who also did the Comic strip. First time we see Gary Beadle who went on to Eastenders and Doon who went on to Smack the Pony. Phil Cornwell used to do Bowie and Jagger on Steve Wright in the afternoon. The villain in this is the captain on Red Dwarf, Just a bit of background for you guys.
