A bit of BBC2 continuity then the beginning of Rapido including item on John Lurie followed by the start Antoine de Caunes' introduction to the feature on The Stone Roses.
When this show was originally airing, I used to describe this batshit title sequence to my classmates at school, and they thought I was making the whole thing up. Watching it again thirty years later, I can't say I blame them. Thanks for posting!
Never heard of "The Nutt House". Looks interesting with that kind of pedigree. Probably not much of a surprise that it didn't last long. Looks like it suffered the same fate as Police Squad ; parody was difficult to replicate for T.V.
Now there was an Australian space age send up show after Rapido which was so funny and the cast in that show used to all sing and their singing was really really good can any body tell me the name of that show

when mainstream TV channels were good
Best opening credits ever
I miss those simpler times. I wish I had a time machine.
I have one: Alcohol.
Youll be teary-eyed and living in the past before you can say "rose-tinted".
I was trawling trawling through some old memories in my mind and I hit upon rapido and it made me happy
Crackin' show-host de Caunes, ye know!
I haven't seen his since I was a child. Do you happen to have any more episodes?
What a flashback.
Up Yours, Willetts.
Cracking wee interview that
forgot how good this is!
Did rapido show aeon flux?
You're thinking of Liquid Television, also on BBC2.
Griff Rhys Jones did a parody which ended with him turning sideways and saying ‘now will someone get zese bloody ‘andcuffs off?’

Is this pretty much unique in being a TV show with the same presenter, same title and same credits produced in two languages?
is this like a clean prototype of Eurotrash? Never heard of this one before!

proto eurotrash
Wouldn't allowed to call a tv series THAT any more, let-alone MAKE one about that subject-matter ..........
It's a bit more socially awkward than the Spanish pronunciation of rapido.
When real men modelled
This and "Wired" on channel4 were the only outlets for alternative, non mainstream music and pop culture
Ahem, John peel
@@andywatts8654 quite right, but only on his radio show
Then there was The Chart Show on ITV with its graphics.
Up Yours, Lemsip. We all know how bitter you are.
