Be Near Me on BBC Children's TV

ABC perform their hit "Be Near Me", Martin dressed like a day-glo Dr. Who. Why the BEEB didn't see their potential for kids TV, we'll nevr know...
A prize for anyone who can work out which show this is from! It has all the hallmarks of a generic BBC kids show - ABC liven up the Hangar-like settings...infact, wasn't there a show called Hangar 18? Maybe I have my answer after all lol....hmmm, curiouser and curiouser....

Their cartoon band era. Pretty cool idea 🤓

Perhaps they should of been the resident band on Puff And Stuff. Love the toy instruments and style of the band.

I saw the MV a lot when I was a kid, my brother danced to this in his toddle walker when he was 9 months old! I finally collected all of ABC 's discography I'm 2004. The How to be a Zillionaire was a triply move to attempt to reinvent themselves. Both Fry and White are the only musicians Eden or Fiona Russell had some musical skills but was only there for the looks. And David Yarritu, he was very much for scenery with zero musical capabilities. He is only a funny looking bald gay dwarf who happens to be still active as a photographer!

There's an actual music video of this somewhere, it used to be on RUclips. It's cool as a video, but this live "performance" is kinda lame.
