Cheers for that. I was wrecking what is left of my brain trying to
think what the name of the series was called. It was broadcast in
late evening if I recall.

Yep, I was waiting for the wheels to fall of it as well.

Rhoda Dakar said she was unaware of a Boiler 12". It appeared in the
Record Collector 2 Tone list quite by accident. Wally and I were
bouncing lists back an forward and it was included as a 'if it exists
in the first place' item. By the time it was confirmed (as much as it

The real shame is that the tape of this programme is no doubt sitting
on a shelf in some TV archive store gathering dust.

According to Wikipedia:

Alright Now was a short-lived rock music television series made by
Tyne Tees Television for ITV in 1979-1980

It does sound like the same Selecter footage which I was talking
about. On the subject of live footage the recording of Bad Manners in
Galway 1981 which does the rounds, has anyone seen it? The reason I
ask is because when it was first broadcast it was also shown north of

Astro is indeed a great toaster. Apparently he was a skinhead back in
the day and he got his nickname for the type of boot he used to wear.
Or at least that's the story Ali Campbell told in a documentary about
Dr Martens.

I saw The Selecter and The Bodysnatchers live at the Tyne Tees Studios. I
was about 13 so that's around 1979/80 but I can't remember for the life of
me the name of the Programme. I'm sure it was in the same studio they later
did The Tube from. Anyone got any ideas?
It was a great night though. I haven't got broadband here at the moment so

A mate of mine told me he saw The Selecter live on TV back in the day
so it must be the same one your talking about so I'm sure it will turn
up some day. I know most of the people who Trade in 2-tone and Nobody
has any live Gigs by The Selecter from the 2-tone Day's. I Recently
got a Live Gig by The Specials from a Dutch TV Programme called

Dubmobile was The B.side of iv'e got mine and Sufferin was on the
B.side of Red red wine. I found some of their B.sides more Interesting
than the A.sides or maybe I just like Astro Toasting. one a penny and
Folitician were other great B.side maybe they should release a singles
Box Set with all the B.sides that would be worth a listen.
