Interesting. Presumably one of the local BBC or ITV regional magazine programmes. Good to see the clip and this line up of the band. Thanks for posting.
I remember being seriously embarrassed at having to wear a porter's cap and white gloves and mimicking Ashley's dance routine, footwork and handclaps (but I DID use to wear the blue worker's overalls and striped T.shirt at gigs, Oh the folly of youth)
So did you go into a studio to record this version especially for this show? It's different from the album version, but I like it better. Is it available anywhere?
Brings back happy memories of seeing the band many times in the 80s. However, I'd forgotten about Cathy Lesurf's beauty.
That is the most bizarre video I can imagine from the Albions. Loving Simon's Corn Flakes guitar.
Ashley Hutchings with white waistcoat. His tasteful bass playing by itself in the background, rather suggests that this was mimed!

The presenter is Johnnie Hamp, so it's a Granada regional programme.

Love DM having a sly smirk at Ashley,s antics
This is from The Video Entertainers, 9th August 1983 at 7pm. It was carried by every ITV region apart from TSW and Channel.
Thaks for the details, It was also aired in Ireland (much later?) , a fan commented on it
I saw it when broadcast!
Ashley Hutchings, Cathy Lesurf, Jean-Pierre Rasle, Dave Whetstone, Simon Nicol, Dave Mattacks. From the LP Light Shining.
I should know this already, but can you tell me which one is A.H.?
@@marklar5334 A. H. is the one in the ticket inspector's cap and white waistcoat...
The one dancing to left of Cathy

Oh my god. Ashley giving it the full Rod, Jayne and Freddy there. DM demonstrating how to wear a hat grudgingly.
Oh dear - that's dreadful. No wonderDave Mattacks looks so embarrassed.
Does the background say UL? If so, a clue to program name?
Never seen this before. Are videos of Simon's sparkly shirt even more rare than ones of the Corn Flakes guitar?
FUN FACT: This song was written by an 11 year-old in just under 10 minutes.
