I remember watching this on TV, the very first song on the first edition of the tube. He broke a guitar string on live TV yet still got through the song!
@brian9999 I think they were! Thought they were great and got to see em live in May 83 at Brannigans in leeds. An awesome venue and they had a punk band on every wednesday. The Toy Dolls put on a fantastic show to a pretty big crowd. They came back in september 83 and the place was packed. What happy memories.
@sopp111 Mark Miwurdz who fancied himself as a "Poet"!!!!!! or do you mean the nice wee lassie Muriel Gray who could really rip into Pop stars egos. After Paul Weller was boring in an interview she introduced The Jam as "Masters of wit and repartee - The Jam". Classic!!!!!!
I mean, I get them interrupting Mark Hurst to launch into the first live performance of the entire series, but why the sudden cut to Muriel Gray? On the note of the new faces brought in as co-presenters, only Muriel Gray stuck around for the entire five series that were produced. Gary James, who appeared the episode after this, left after the second series, as did Mark Hurst as his comedy slots were increasingly taken up by the likes of French & Saunders and Robbie Coltrane. Michel Cremona and Nick Laird-Clowes left after the end of the first series. Mike Everitt got done for GBH and in the end only appeared in the last episode of the first series, after which he was never seen or heard from again. And two of the 3,000 hopefuls who auditioned as co-presenters? Boy George and Jarvis Cocker. George was one of those who was chosen as a co-presenter, but then Culture Club signed with Virgin Records, meaning George was unavailable.
@@johnbarry1965 There was another presenter who joined in Series 2 called Tony Fletcher. He'd previously appeared in the very first episode in a feature on fanzines, talking about his own fanzine _Jamming!_ After Leslie Ash was hospitalised before the second episode of Series 2, Tony was drafted in and stayed on for the rest of Series 2. He was with Jools in that episode for the OB from the Haçienda, with Leslie remaining in Newcastle for Herbie Hancock's live set.
@@antster1983 I remember the Jamming fanzine show. He is very visible in the crowd during The Jam's live performance from the first show. Iam actually reading Tony Fletcher's book "A light that never goes out" about The Smiths, I have also read "Dear Boy" about Keith Moon. Mr Fletcher now lives in upstate New York. The worst band that ever appeared live to me were the bafflingly awful "Das Psycho Rangers" remember them?

I remember this on the tube on a Friday night around teatime am sure it was 1982 I was 17yrs old at the time brilliant
What a track and what a performance. Punk at its best. The hosts have some thick accents. Cheers from the USA!
How were The Toy Dolls not absolutely massive in the UK????
Finos is a place in Sunderland, where the people went out. There was some Toy Dolls concert in the Finos as well.

@@antster1983 I remember a little kid who had appeared in a Madonna video being a presenter for a while needless to say he weren't much cop?

I have a nifty 7" single of this song with a different vocalist pre-Toy Dolls with the band known as "The Showbiz Kids."
Olga wrote this song about his girlfriend at the time though so I'm a little confused on that.

His A string is broken, that's why he is so nervous
And indeed, later in the programme, one of the hosts holds the broken string to camera.
Weren't we all thin in those days, no food banks then because we ate fuck all...
the G string goes to finos
WHat the hell is that guy on about at the beginning...
and what TV show starts yapping half way through the track....
Great performance though!
Can anyone tell me what Fino's was?
Finos was a night club in Park Lane, Sunderland, UK. It is now demolished and standing in its place is another club called Port of Call.
Just up from the BERMUDA TRIANGLE..Borough,Beehive&Painted Wagon....

Too bad it took Americans to show kids what to do when a band that good plays. I wish I could go back and wreck it again.
