The Old Grey Whistle Test (usually abbreviated to Whistle Test or OGWT) was an influential BBC2 television music show that ran from 1971 to 1988. It took over the BBC2 late night slot from "Disco Two", which had been running since January 1970, while continuing to feature non-chart music. It was devised by BBC producer Rowan Ayers. According to presenter Bob Harris,
The show's focus on "serious" rock music rather than chart hits was emphasised by a lack of showbiz glitter: bands would often perform their songs in front of either the bare studio walls or plain wooden boards (actually the backs of set walls from other programmes filmed in the same studio). As with many BBC productions, this was (initially at least) as much a matter of money as of style; other late night shows of the time, having only 'minority' appeal, also had to be content with spartan sets. Another factor was that the programme was originally made in a studio known as "Pres B", which had been originally intended for in-vision continuity. The studio was only 32x22 feet (a little under 10 x 7 metres) which left little room for a set once the cameras and band were in.
ONgelooflijk fantastisch ! Rock 'n Roll van de bovenste plank !

Great to see this on YouTube, enjoyed it live on air back in 1980, high energy performance, and great guitar work from Danny!

Goh ja ...ik weet 't nog zo goed...opeens ging Herman achtergrondzangeressen,gastsaxofonisten,gastgitaristen,duitse mafkezen,van oekels etc. bij het bandje betrekken en toen haakte ik en andere fans van het eerste uur massaal af.
En toen Danny,Cees en Fred (superband !) maar eens vervangen moesten worden,was het leed niet meer te overzien.
