Trixie's Music Quiz - for Music Geeks, Nerds and Musos - by Never Mind The Buzzcocks co-creator
Trixie's Music Quiz is written and devised by Bill Matthews, one of the creators of Never Mind The Buzzcocks. His partner, Ursula, is the reluctant presenter because Trixie can't speak and Bill doesn't like the sound of his own voice (unusually for someone who's worked in TV).
We play a clip of Song 1 and Song 3 and you then have to work out what Song 2 is. There are also five quiz questions related to the three featured songs and the artists who perform them.
We are planning to do more music quizzes in the near future - more Song 2s and other quiz ideas. Please like the video and subscribe to be notified the next time one is released. Please also check out the other content on Bill’s cha...

His partner, Ursula, is the presenter because Bill doesn't like the sound of his own voice (unusually for someone who worked in TV). Ursula is aided and abetted by our dog, Trixie.

Our Man At Wembley Ep 1 of 4 - written by Bill Matthews - starring Alistair McGowan - Radio 4, 1998
Просмотров 514 месяца назад
My four part 'comedy drama' series (well, that's what the continuity announcer called it) Our Man At Wembley was first broadcast on 22 June 1998 on Radio 4 at 11pm. The Radio 4 commissioner responsible described it as the best programme he commissioned in that timeslot. It is set in 1947 and stars Alistair McGowan as Eric Halliday, a working-class Lancastrian living in West London with his sist...
Who Dares Wins Series 2, Episode 4 - Channel 4, 1985

By a remarkable coincidence, I unknowingly uploaded the first episode of the first series of Who Dares Wins on the 40th anniversary of its first broadcast. In the spirit of this, I then uploaded all eight episodes of the first series on its 40th anniversary. However, rather than wait 16 months to upload the second series, due to requests from RUclips users, I will be uploading it in the next fe...

I was surprised to discover, before uploading this, that it doesn't seem to have been previously available on RUclips, so I hope this will please those with fond memories of watching The History Man first time around. I also hope it might find some new viewers. I was at university myself when this came out, with no TV in the accommodation I shared with seven others. There was a block in the hal...

West By Steven Berkoff - Channel 4, 1984
Просмотров 1985 месяцев назад
West was staged in London's West End in 1983, and filmed for television at the Limehouse Studios in 1984. The cast is mainly made up of actors little known to the wider public, although it does include Ralph Brown, who attained fame in Withnail and I in the role of Danny, roller of the notorious Camberwell Carrot. In its printed version, West is described as "An allegory on the demons we all mu...
Licking Hitler by David Hare - Play For Today - BBC1, 1978
Просмотров 2645 месяцев назад
As a 17 year old, I watched this excellent television play by David Hare as it went out on 10 January 1978. Well, there was no choice in those days, since there were no video recorders in homes at that time, and no catch-up. Five years later, as part of my finals, I wrote my long essay in my Drama exams on the works of David Hare who, as well as writing TV plays such as this and Dreams Of Leavi...
Wood and Walters 3 - Victoria Wood and Julie Walters - bad picture quality - ITV, 1982
Просмотров 2125 месяцев назад
When I first got a VCR in early 1983, I was at Manchester University. One of the first shows I recorded was Wood and Walters, filmed in front of an audience of mainly pensioners for whom many of the nuances went over their heads. I became a huge fan of Victoria Wood from that point onwards, especially after seeing her stand-up in a smallish venue at the 1983 Edinburgh Fringe. It was the brillia...
Follow The Yellow Brick Road - TV play by Dennis Potter - Denholm Elliott - BBC2, 1972
Просмотров 2135 месяцев назад
The good news is that this television play can be viewed in every country in the world, bar one. The bad is that that one country is the UK, so I can't even view it, for copyright reasons. I suppose it could be viewed via a VPN. This is one of Dennis Potter's best known TV plays, and was commissioned by the BBC under the umbrella title Sextet, "a series of eight plays featuring the same six act...
Ruby Tuesday meets Billy Liar - Julie Christie and The Rolling Stones
Просмотров 965 месяцев назад
In 1983, when I first got a video recorder, I made my very first attempt at video editing. Amazingly, my VHS had a button it called 'audio dub', so you could add different sound to your pictures. The character of Liz in Keith Waterhouse's novel and as played by the charismatic and enigmatic Julie Christie in the film Billy Liar had always reminded me of the free spirit described in the Rolling ...
Rik Mayall - guest appearance on The Lenny Henry Show, BBC1, 1984
Просмотров 1425 месяцев назад
I was surprised earlier today to find this at the end of one of my old VHSs. I have no memory of it at all but, being a huge fan of Rik Mayall, I can only guess that I reached for the record button as soon as Rik appeared. As a result, the start of the sketch is missing. Rik plays an amateur joke writer from the Isle of Wight called Martin who has sent Lenny 6,000 jokes without him using any. W...
