The Kate Bush 1979 Christmas Special

[Shirley]

I'm watching this on the iplayer RIGHT NOW

It's JUST as HATSTAND as you'd EXPECT

Sample:



Wait for the DANCING VIOLINS to ARRIVE

 

[Toyah]

The keyboard's FLOATIN' MAN!

I am just finishing watching this now, it is such a ridiculous fantastic joy. I never realised how all out mad she could be, i love her

My highlights so far are the performance Donna has posted, her introduction for Peter Gabriel (though i skipped him), the bit where she puts on a fake beard and does a whole song dressed as some sort of 1920s farmer, and the beginning of Them Heavy People. And i still have half of it to watch.

Everyone should watch it before it disappears just after midnight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00k35n4/Kate/

The only SLIGHT disappointment was that she didn't do the old WUTHERING HEIGHTS

I don't have time to watch tonight, but with iPlayer you can download it and watch it within a month, can't you? I really do want to see this.

 

[lolly]

oh BUGGER

Kate is no longer available. Programmes are available for a limited number of days after broadcast. Why?

 

[lolly]

oh, but it appears to be downloading anyway

Watching this on BBC4 now. I can't believe she got away with some of this on the BBC in 1979! It's well racey so far!

Back on iPlayer, link as above. Will give this a look later.

I think this is the first time to watch it - but some fun loony moments. I'm currently sampling the varied nonsense of Egypt.

Don't expect the HITZ! But some poofy dancers with some lovely thighs will do
