King In New York

AUDACIOUSLY fancying himself as the network’s answer to Alistair Cooke, gurning baseball-capped Genesis-discovering and all-purpose self-appointed ‘music industry expert’ Jonathan King filed regular five-minute reports from the Big Apple on many an early eighties Saturday afternoon, later translated to BBC2 for the long-running Entertainment USA. Heavy on breathless introductions of ‘the latest craze’ which invariably failed to catch on.
