I was thinking about them just the other week because Anne Magnusson was in the film Clear and Present Danger. Which nobody has thought about for ages.
Also in the context of the post C86 listening club and how Power of Pussy would be my choice if it wasn’t American.
Also I just remembered Bono’s childhood address and birthday…
I was utterly obsessed with U2 until I was about 13 when my Father said I should listen to John Peel
It just feels wrong that so little of the Big Breakfast footage just doesn’t exist in the public domain.
Chances are most of it is dreadful, and would kill any nostalgia people have for it. But it would be nice to find out how bad it all was.
Was Kelly Brooks really reading phonetic cue cards? Where did Richard Orford go? What happened in those Paula Yates interviews? (Always needed to leave for school before Paula was on)
The Corrs incident was on MTV. But actually, while I don’t know how much of the Big Breakfast still officially exists as even that late on a lot of programmes with a huge number of episodes aren’t archived in full especially if not on the BBC or ITV and made by an independent production company, there’s quite a bit on YouTube.
