Of course he's missed, but as a Londoner his accent is not posh. Maybe you're more exposed to Multicultural London English nowadays, but he's accent is well spoken working class or lower middle class, which sums up his London suburb. Yes, I'm great fun at the water cooler.
@@jaysterling26 Probably, what do I know LOL. English is not even my first language, but anyway he is a very well-spoken man. Every member of DM is. However, I can hear the difference between Dave's / Martin's accents. Maybe it's just his speech patterns. I love studying linguistics, it's fun.
It's funny how Dave said his favourite animal is a dog because he really is like a big sweet friendly puppy dog, always draping his arms over everyone. Alan likes cats, and he is pretty, guarded, and watchful, just like a cat. I love how close Alan and Dave sit together too. Gorgeous boys. I love you Dave Gahan!
What a brilliant find, hilarious to find them chatting all morning on the breakfast TV sofa just to promote the slightly pervy Master and Servant single 😂 Surreal to see Dave discussing Pat Nevin's review of their single with Greavsie too! AND Dave's parrot
''Depeche Mode'' means ''Fashion Dispatch''. ''Dépêche'' here is a noun, not a verb or adjective. The French reflexive verb ''se dépêcher'' means ''to hurry'' (We don't have a direct equivalent to the English ''hurry'' and so litterally we call it ''dispatching oneself''..), but ''dépêcher'' alone is ''to dispatch, to send hurriedly''. The noun ''dépêche'' therefore translates as ''dispatch'', and ''mode'' of course is ''fashion'', so ''Fashion Dispatch''. On a side note, I don't know why people say that Alan looks bored here. I find him to be more smiling and cute than I've ever seen him, really. Okay so he's slouchy, but isn't he always?.. Also that lady (who I quite like otherwise) was talking to Dave 90% of the time, so hard for Alan to engage much.. Personally I'm finding him quite lovely.. ;)
I am a fan of Alan's, not Depeche Mode, but I love this cosy interview because it shows him and Dave Gahan at their best, before all the divisions set in in that band. Alan was/still is a gorgeous, breath-taking heart-throb, and brilliant musician. Please come back Alan, I grew up in the 80s and have severe 80s nostalgia for individuals like you!! And thank you to the person who uploaded this video - AliceinDave. It has taken the edge and the pain away a bit, from wishing I could go back to the 1980s. I also like the birthday card readings, so cute and such a nice thing to do. Producers wouldn't do things like that now, on television, would they, too simplistic; it is always attention seeking activities on TV.
Couldn't agree more, Alan was the sound of DM and was greatly unappreciated. Depeche Mode has sounded like ass ever since his departure - I don't want him to ever come back as they don't deserve him. They caused too much stress on the man and he's much better off leaving that whole part of his life behind forever.
@@boris9712 I absolutely agree with everything you say. I am not a fan of that band, I don't like the other three because of their attitudes (and especially their rudeness and trashy behaviour) : Alan Wilder made them massively successful, and they treated him so badly, diabolically. It just goes to show, that there is always a price to pay - with every fairy tale rags to riches story, as this is, and poor Alan paid it. An absolute travesty, and a shame. Perhaps being famous and wealthy is not so great - look at 99% of them, they just can't handle it, as my brother said; their egos become out of control, (and I don't mean Alan, he is nice, with his feet on the ground).
@@boris9712 there was sound before him(Alan), and I belong the group that is adore Alan's huge work on DM. I recon the complexity of those times really hard to explain after to try to observait this and that. I miss Alan a lot, but dealing with all DM after 30 years I also see Martin's part. Weaker in music and sound a bit but strong in toughts. He (Martin) was really under pressure to take Vincent's part. Alan was not that fussy to write songs, but obviously that is the part of the business. I really like to compare between Martin and Alan's vision on one of the first hit for me when I was a kid called "To have and to hold" at that time. Thanks that was not mainstream :D
Much as I love this (big thanks to the taper/uploader), I wish so much that it would turn up in higher quality. I've seen so many other interviews on GMB around this time in really good quality, and this interview is so endearing - I love seeing Dave and Alan interact back then, and I really hope they're still on good terms today. I wonder if this episode still exists in the TV archives?
I know Dave was the closest person who Alan was close to during his years with Depeche Mode, fortunately they're still friends to this day, also why wasn't Andy and Martin with them for the interview?
When will they get recognition in the UK? Has there been a more succesful British band over the past 40 years? Other bands get bigger, have a couple of big albums but don´t last.
I agree. Same thing in the US. For God sake, induct them into the R&RHOF- while the four of them (with Wilder, who clearly made DM all that it is) can enjoy the honor! 💖 Long long overdue!
I wished these guys didnt have a fallen out and stayed together. Such a shame Alan left the band and the band members and the manager didnt show Alan the respect that he deserved.
Depeche Mode's single "Master and Servant" mentioned here as a new one was released on August 20th, 1984, so I'm guessing this morning show interview was filmed late August 84 or early September. Their album Some Great Reward was released on September 24th, 84 💿 🎶
I think, I THINK, they just actually said exactly the same thing at the very same time? I think it's just the reason why they're giggling... But I'm not quite sure... :/
This is the famous interview where afterwards, legend has it, Dave slipped a willing Ann Diamond his love sausage in the lavatory across the corridor from the green room. Apparently Dave wasn't the first or last guest to indulge in Diamond's delights.
I'd say no - I think they even referred to themselves as " futurists" - almost definitely without knowledge of Italian futurists ( but use of sounds a bit similar..?).
@@jaysterling26 Depeche Mode did *not* like to be called futurists, either. People called them that because "Photographic" was on the _Some Bizarre_ record, and they regretted agreeing to be a part of that because of this.
I love Alan’s West London posh accent ... we missed you Alan!!!!!
Of course he's missed, but as a Londoner his accent is not posh. Maybe you're more exposed to Multicultural London English nowadays, but he's accent is well spoken working class or lower middle class, which sums up his London suburb. Yes, I'm great fun at the water cooler.

Alan is adorable.
They were so adorable. It was an honor watching these boys grow up to the mature and beautiful men that they are today.

Alan likes cats, and he is pretty, guarded, and watchful, just like a cat. I love how close Alan and Dave sit together too. Gorgeous boys. I love you Dave Gahan!
Interesting and true remark!
they resemble these animals even physically
That’s a really good observation, I love these guys ❤️
Without Alan. Depeche mode sound is trash.
Alan is a Gemini like Prince for instance, so it's natural for him to behave that way, I'm speaking from experience. ;)
4:20 even the hostess got excited by the Dalan action and squealed. Haha!
Dave and Alan were always my top 2 favorite members of DM
My favorite members of Depeche Mode.
Alan Wilder y Martín Gore
Me too and the hottest
Mine too!
@@Thepomafame yes! Slurp
Dave and Alan looked so sweet on the sofa ♥️
They were so cute both looks and behaviour. I love DM, all of them. Amazing talents.
What a brilliant find, hilarious to find them chatting all morning on the breakfast TV sofa just to promote the slightly pervy Master and Servant single 😂 Surreal to see Dave discussing Pat Nevin's review of their single with Greavsie too! AND Dave's parrot
Now I want to see Martin breakdancing
OMG 12:50 Alan so cute 😍🤗
The way he does the kisses! 🥰
4:20 priceless moment

way too cute...these 2...
as a Gemini here,I don't think Alan hate this,he just laid back and enjoy everything around ~~

DAVID & ALAN 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Alan el más lindo, talentoso y amable de Depeche Mode. Lástima que ya no siga en la banda :'(
Ele que quis sair
Aww Dave looks like a baby...so young lol
He’s here 22
Well, perhaps it's just me, but this is one of the most surreal things I have ever witnessed
I love them !!!!!!😘🎶😘🎶😘🎶
What a gem! They are so young and charming. My favourite moment is 4:20. Cute!
Yes I agree, that was a cute moment ❤️ Also Alan sending kisses 😍 I'm sure Alan knew he was teasing his female fans doing that 😍
The beauties from deseche mode
I have a retroactive crush on 1984 Dave. Swoon! He always seemed so down-to-earth and normal.
wow ... they were so cute back then, no wonder they instantly became my favorite band
Old rough video but nice to see such soft spoken stars.
Alan sending kisses haha
i'm a Gemini too ;)
i am too :) Alan is so cute
The birth day shout outs are the best part.
Todd Toddy it’s funny how they read out the whole addresses! I don’t remember but I guess that is what they did back then on tv.
cat named foxy
So sweet
This is a brilliant find! Thank you soo much! 😀
Dave is amazing, so cute and beautiful ❤ thanks for this video xx
I know Dave was the closest person who Alan was close to during his years with Depeche Mode, fortunately they're still friends to this day, also why wasn't Andy and Martin with them for the interview?
Andy was going to the Chelsea game.
This is brilliant. Love it. I'm old enough to remember TV AM.
OMG I rmember when we dressed like tht.
9:10 - 9:50 this is so cute
this was cringe, cool, and cute all at the same time! thanks for sharing.
Cute Dave & Alan😘
Awesome gentlemen!
This must've been an awkward period for them when they were stuck between their innocent poppy image and their ambitions to become darker and edgier.
Watched this live on August Bank Holiday Monday 1984.
Thank you for posting
I remember those days but wouldn't have seen this cos at 8.40am I was out the door and on the way to skool.
When will they get recognition in the UK? Has there been a more succesful British band over the past 40 years? Other bands get bigger, have a couple of big albums but don´t last.

Jimmy Greaves, Dave Gahan and Alan Wilder. Three Kings.
Alan❤❤❤❤
Alan's major eye roll at 14:59.😂
Poor Alan looks so fed up here but Dave is very good at pretending
Dave really loved those crop tops!
🖤
DAVE 😍😍😍😘😘😘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hosst says are you all popeye fans.. Alan: Oh yeah! despratley. those oneliners.
...and STILL they're filling stadiums!
Love Dave's 1984 hairstyle, wish he had kept it longer, I know he had shorter hair by the Fall of 1984.
40 летняя машина времени😭
Dave was so humble at that time...
I wish Martin and Fletch were part of this interview as well.
💞😘
I wished these guys didnt have a fallen out and stayed together. Such a shame Alan left the band and the band members and the manager didnt show Alan the respect that he deserved.
When anyone annoyomously likes my post about DM or Alan Wilder I secretly pretend it's by Alan Wilder 🫠
Can anyone understand what Dave says around 9:24?
DM❤
star signs LOL
Whereabouts of 1984 was this filmed in? I know it had to be anywhere from January to September before Dave got a haircut.

@@missanne3467 I know Dave had shorter hair by the Fall of 1984.
I reckon Anne Diamond fancied Dave a bit there 🤭
7:30 am? Ugh!
Hey everybody,
I have a question: what did they say at 4:20?
I hope that someone can help me to answer my question ;)
Love, Samy
I think, I THINK, they just actually said exactly the same thing at the very same time? I think it's just the reason why they're giggling... But I'm not quite sure... :/
@Shaughnessy Young.
Thank you very much
Alan said 'to a certain extent' but I agree I think they just said sorry and hit each other because they talked over each other :)
Pariser Fuchs haha yes they did say the exact same thing at the same time lol like telepathy
Are Dave and Al on speaking terms these days?
Depeche Mode is not fast fashion, fashion news
This is the famous interview where afterwards, legend has it, Dave slipped a willing Ann Diamond his love sausage in the lavatory across the corridor from the green room. Apparently Dave wasn't the first or last guest to indulge in Diamond's delights.
What where
Lol 😂 Is that true? Probably just a rumor. 🤔
I wish I hadn't read this. 😳
look New Romantics...
I'd say no - I think they even referred to themselves as " futurists" - almost definitely without knowledge of Italian futurists ( but use of sounds a bit similar..?).

Pat Nevin fell out with Depeche mode...thats pretty freakin random
Quite into indie bands I recall
What is the name of the lady host?
It's Anne Diamond.
@@junebaby166 Thank you.
Why does Alan look like he's so pissed off?
He doesn't. 😂 Did you watch the same interview I did? 🤔
@@heathers7265 Yes, he just strikes me as moody.
Euw Frightfully posh name Depeche mode
This is not the real Dave Gahan :)
it is dude
