Kula Shaker did a really wonderful single, Govinda. Suffered as being too posh.

I bought Kula Shaker's version; but due to my age I prefer the original it brings back memories of my "Hippie" period listening to this and burning joss sticks youtu.be/5hLrMXa4oH4

Kula Shaker were victims of their own success, and of Krispian Mills' musings in the press. Once the NME started to ridicule him the writing was on the wall - they split in '99 shortly after the second LP, but reformed a few years later to acclaim but little in the way of sales. But with the money in music now mainly being in touring a lot of these bands (OCS for instance) will survive for a good while yet.

Just caught up with the show from last Thursday (shown 5th March), hosted by Simon Bates : why was this a 'film-ised' version? Broadcast as if it were 25 progressive frames per second rather than 50 interlaced fields per second? Spoiled the whole look of it. Surely the original tape had not been lost? Wrong settings on digitising it whenever that was done??
This was the BBC4 HD version, shown on Sky, in case there were different versions shown elsewhere.

The 7.30 showing was excellent quality but sadly for me minus the SLF appearance . I have freesat and the extended repeats looked awful ....

I recorded the Saturday night broadcast from Freeview HD BBC4, it looks OK to me. I would be more than happy if they where recorded onto 35mm @24fps and broadcast as such, far superior quality.
I watched an episode of The Avengers earlier today from 1967 in colour sourced from bluray, 48 years old and the picture quality made today's TV look cr*p.
35mm Film

The 7.30pm showing will be an edited version of the show to fit the evening timeslot. As a lot of folks on this board will know, there were complaints about this so BBC4 decided to show a longer broadcast in the late night repeat slot. Stiff Little Fingers were shown in the later broadcast.

The 7.30pm version looked fine. Only the full-length version had been filmised.

Maybe someone had a "wrong button" pressed on a console?

Odd one, this week..
Peter Powell was doing the intro to The Tourists and was just about to say their name when it cut and the song started suddenly. What happened? I'm sure it didn't happen like that back in 1980. Did Peter mention Savile or something?

I thought that, it seemed very abrupt though Popscene doesn't list a track missing in the running order Possibly an inappropriate comment uttered?

Somebody check if the Tourists were on "Jim'll fix it" that week?
