Too tired to write anything even vaguely coherent tonight but have a squiz at Channel 4's recently unearthed 1993 pop show pilot featuring performances from, among others, Cud & Denim, and presented by a pair of complete lunatics! That's Vic & Bob in their absolute comedic pomp. Everything about this is completely bloody marvellous!
Utter quality. Particularly liked Kym Mazelle's bemusement at the start of her interview, though she wised up pretty quickly. And wasn't that a young Marine McCutcheon fronting derivative bland girl-trio Milan?
Oh, and the history of Erasure? Brilliant. All brilliant, in fact. Top find.
Ah yes, I meant to check if that really was McCutcheon in that girl bland, but unsurprisingly forgot - until now. It was indeed.
When I woke up this morning it took me a few seconds to realise that this programme wasn't a dream and that that really was Cud getting interrupted by Vic & Bob on yer actual telly.
And despite its inherent brilliance this show had never made it to air until now, twenty years later - at 1.40am on a Tuesday. Shameful.
