752 Video Jukebox

First  viewed : 9  May  1986

This  was  excellent  , an  Omnibus  special  on  BBC  One  celebrating  the  art  of  the  pop  video  which  ran  through  the  night. It  was  billed  as  finishing  at  2am  but  actually  went  on  until  4am. That  allowed  it  to  be  comprehensive  with  interviews  with  all  the  major  players - Bowie, John  Landis, Madness, David  Byrne, Godley  and  Creme  etc. The  presenters,  oddly  enough,  were  John  Peel  and  his  producer  John  Walters  , neither  of  them  notable  champions  of  the  video  age  but  they  read  their  autocues  professionally  enough. It  really  was  an  enjoyable  night  by  the  telly.
