Oh no.Not me. I've never seen this film. It was funny in a way that appealed to a 10 year old at the time, in the same way that Ringo's Back off Boogaloo did. The stop motion with the Bowie-a-like walking around with the gnomes getting up to funny antics along with the lyrics made it memorable and it worked well as a vid. It should be more accessible, if it was I recon it would appear on the early 70's music retrospective programs.

IT EXISTS IN A PRIVATE ARCHIVE. Yep that's understood & good news but private archive sadly translates as gathering dust & unlikely to be seen.

Well,someone's got to say it: Like the video film we saw... (And how futuristic that sounded....). Didn't it just? I've always admired Bowie's lyrical stylings, how he dropped names and tech terms into his songs. As a 10 year old, I didn't yet know what video was, other than a mysterious device mentioned by Bowie and defined as a video screen in TV21 comics. It really was a different world back then ... and we were gauche, naive, artless & unsophisticated ...

'Pour me out another 'phone I'll ring and see if our friends are home_"
Um, they might have mobile phones and be out of their house in the future (I.e. nowadays)

If Bowie had written a song about remembering/misremembering missing episodes he couldn't have done a better job than on life on Mars and drive in Saturday. They are obviously so much more, are they the first post modern pop songs?

He could write a line that was better than most acts whole songs. Certainly a visionary when it came to seeing the way TV Video and now internet have bent perceptions of reality. "Is that concrete all around, or is it in my head?"

It does exist and lies in the same archive the Pan's People 'Monster Mash' routine is in.

As we are on Pop stars making TV references I remember the Beatles mentioning 'The Crabalogger' from Thunderbirds episode 'path of destruction' too on 'I am The Walrus'
