Interesting comment on this video that I put on YouTube:

"I worked on this at Thames TV and have a top quality (ie straight from mixed to 1/4" tape) copy of the rehearsal versions of Hoover Factory and Watching the Detectives.... so even rarer than the broadcast version!"

Did you ask the poster - re. sharing it etc- about it?

[verbal gymnastics]

Absolutely - otherwise it's just a boast Or a "I've got something you haven't got".

[Ulster Boy]

Yes, I've messaged him (or her).

This is actually Sunday Sunday itv from 1982, not the original broadcast, why would it show Elvis Costello 1977 at one point and Elvis and Mavis Nicholson walking along a street in 1982 and album covers up to Trust.....?

Including contributions from Maureen Lipman, Paul O'Grady, Elvis Costello, Judith Chalmers, Eamonn Holmes and Mavis herself, alongside many others.

Elvis Costello - Mavis Nicholson interview 1989

1977 , still from youtube clip



1989

[johnfoyle]

'I was only 23 at the time ....any woman over 35 was Mrs Robinson!' - Elvis's follow up comment to his ' bit of a crush' one. Otherwise a reverential portrait of a past master of a , in my opinion, defunct format. Loads of whinging about how crap modern tv is , how Mavis did it better. The usual smug comments about how she knew Jimmy Saville was a bad lad etc.
