Granada TV late night tv show late 80's / early 90's

[Jeff Leach]

Was talking today about obscure Tv shows that were shown around the regions when ITV first went to 24 hour broadcasting and a few

came out in the conversation from my region (Granada Manchester)

Wonder if they all exist - there seems very little on you Tube and little mention around the net

Specifically the Tony Wilson presented "The Other Side of Midnight" that featured some major talent of the time

Juice - presented by several presenters including Tara Newley - Friday night show with many artists featured

Only clip I can find - www.tv-ark.org.uk/mivana/mediaplayer.php?id=770e153a628a6aae2a28f35f621b918d&media=juice_1993&type=mp4

These Granada programmes from the late 80s and early 90s still exist as far as I can tell. I just looked on ITN Source and there are 63 episodes of "The Other Side of Midnight" and 21 episodes of "Juice" listed on there. Most of the episode descriptions are very detailed.

Guests on "The Other Side of Midnight" included Sonic Youth and the Stone Roses.

Guests on "Juice" included Neneh Cherry, M People, K-Klass and Sub Sub.

The first one I saw had the Stone Roses on doing "Waterfall", and Edward Barton doing some outside-broadcast from a pet shop. It all looked like some weird version of "Nationwide".

Subsequent editions weren't up to that sort of standard, but always worth seeing. Oh, and I would grab the occasional highlight such as the Roses, and that time when Peter Hook became New Order on his own to do "The Happy One" with the machines, a track which had been dropped unfinished from whichever album they had just issued. Purely because Tony had liked it when they started it.
