748 Revid

First  viewed : 11  April  1986

I  thought  I  might  have  difficulty  finding  stills  for  this  one. It  followed  The  Chart  Show  on  Friday  evenings.

Revid  was  a  VHS  review  show  hosted  by  annoying  mod  cheerleader  Gary  Crowley  and  a  camp  American  bald  guy,  Jon  Stephen  Fink,  who  wrote  for  Jasper  Carrott.  It  worked  quite  well  because  the  pair  had  completely  different  tastes  and  rarely  agreed  about  anything. For  example,  Fink  thought  Peggy  Sue  Got  Married  was  a  marvellously  emotive  movie  about  life  choices,  Crowley  dismissed  it  as  a  Back  to  the  Future  rip-off.

Unfortunately, the  series  didn't  last  long. Fink  has  subsequently  become  a  successful  author.
