TV Pop Diaries
Pop Music on British Television 1955 - 1999

A series of forty-five minute gig highlights from universities and poly's around the country hosted by Pete Drummond.

Produced and directed by Michael Appleton and Tom Cocoron from The Old Grey Whistle Test. It was a slightly cheaper alternative to Sight and Sound In Concert targeting the new wave and rock acts touring debut albums and a few old timers still plugging away year after year.

The Stranglers were due to play a full set at the University of Guildford but decided that they audience was too elitist and walked off after fifteen minutes.
