1070 The Album Show
First viewed : January 1994
This joined the ITV night time schedules at the start of 1994 and I regularly taped it. The Album Show was Whistle Test to The Chart Show's Top of the Pops, catering for a slightly older audience. Unlike The Chart Show, it had an unseen presenter in Lynn Parsons.
Because it was a video-based show, it had to stick largely to tracks that had been released as singles and didn't reference the actual album chart at all. The show lasted an hour with two breaks and after a while, one of the thirds was given over to a celebrity guest picking some of their favourite videos. The ones I recall are Gary Numan, Belinda Carlisle and Tony Hadley.
I think it ran for a couple of years.
