Right Now BBC4 Banned Songs

[Gaius]

A great blast from the past with some good footage.

Heaven 17 Fascist Groove Thing on right now, great song.....

 

[Gaius]

Good to see some live footage of Glen Matlock with the Pistols!

Had to smile at the Johnny Leyton video.

Never came across the term 'splatter platter' before either!

 

[Yveski]

That was the tip of the iceberg, the bbc was responsible for some terrible chart rigging!

 

[Gaius]

Not the Beeb surely () ; a huge surprise and some of the explanations were well lame and laughable.

Still, being banned will always sell records!

 

[Biker Boy]

Its a great show the talking head do add an extra dimention

They have a poor history of banning songs. They were still at it with ding dong the witch is dead. Not playing it was typical BBC censorship and fundamentally wrong.

The BBC has always been run by toffs who like to think they know whats good for us. Like the great unwashed need to be taught some manners.

We couldnt have anything naughty said about the Queen could we now. Watching a 1979 top of the pops makes you think punk never happened

It's been said that the only reason John Peel got to stay was because he could reference some old boy at a Shrewsbury public school.

That's pretty much what Thatcher thought about the BBC.

I can imagine that's what Alan Clarke thought about Thatcher.
