Don't have much info on this, I'm sure someone will know more.

Wow - "after watching those chicks, they don't call me Nicky Horn for nothing" - don't think he'd be too keen on being reminded about that now...
Looks like a pilot to me.

I have several of those shows, apparently copied from commercial VHS tapes that were sold in Australia.

I was going to guess them as being in-flight video shows for long-haul, inbetween the movies.
I had a quick look (without sound) and a motley pick they are: Bill Wyman (twice!), Kiki Dee, Bay City Rollers, a bloke with a boppy afro, a blues bunch (judging by the harmonica) and Dr John (it looked like). Oh and Leo Sayer.

I think Nicky presented Channel 4's American Football coverage for a few years.

It was only him and Peel that were worth listening to back then. Made an excellent radio doc of The Pink Floyd Story for Capital, and inadvertently confirmed my belief in the punk movement when he refused, in response to listener/fans, to play their 'new single' Anarchy In The UK, because he thought it wasn't good enough to play on the radio. He caught up later and played it though, bless him
