London on Film20.30, BBC4
“We went in the factory and we seen seven men lying in a pit, so me and a policeman helped to get ‘em out, and after we got ‘em out, we brought ‘em out on doors, and after that I went and had a ginger beer in a pub!” Some hilarious clippage here last week, including some brilliantly stilted newsreels, and that’s likely to be the case again in this last episode about the suburbs. “Righto, guvnor!”
Electric Dreams – The Giorgio Moroder StorySecond part of this, where our hero moves slightly more towards the mainstream and starts penning film soundtracks, including the likes of Flashdance and Top Gun, plus of course The Never Ending Story which means we get to enjoy Limahl nestling alongside the rest of the heavyweight contributors, plus another film where his soundtrack is probably about a hundred times more famous now than the actual film. It’s the title of this programme, for a start.
