    WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC!!!

    footage from Police,Blondie,XTC,Teardrop Explodes

    Tubeway Army,REM....Good to see live performances from decent bands from a time when music programmes were proper

    music programmes!!and not this 'reality rubbish'we are being fed

    now!!!It was interesting to see XTC as

    footage of them is rare and they stopped touring many years ago(long before i became a fan!)The only thing

    i wish they could have included interviews with the bands as well as ex presenters
