It looks like TOTP, and I have asked the Beeb. News when I get it!

I actually think this is not TOTP. I think this is from the 'Music of Gilbert O'Sullivan' 15/12/72, which exists in full at the Beeb; he had short hair in 1970.

Ray, i think it's from that show aswell now.
I didn't know that still existed in the BBC.
It's about time it got repeated by BBC4, isn't it?.

I also think it's from 'The Music Of Gilbert O'Sullivan'. It is included on this list on tv appearances that I've helped with on Gilbert's official site. www.gilbertosullivan.net/tv_radio/tv.htmI too would love to see BBC4 repeat it, in full. |

My favourite Gilbert O'Sullivan track both musically and lyrically.
"When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings
Starve to death - Right in front of my eyes".
I didn't fully appreciate this singer/songwriter when I was younger but compared to todays talent (or should I say lack of) this guy's a genius.

I completely agree, I too gained an appreciation of Gilbert with age. Those lyrics always stands out to me too. I love some of his observations from a time when some 'pop' artists still had something interesting to say. Okay, Get Down might shatter that theory!  |

Interesting to hear about that show didn't know of it! You must be right. I was about to suggest one of the later existing things at the BBC. There's a 'Nothing Rhymed' I think on a later 'Gilbert O Sullivan in concert' c 1978 or similar BBC show c 1981.
