That's more or less that, if you have heard of anything else going on do let us know
Weird Youtube archive performance this week is when Motorhead played live on Saturday Morning ITV Kids show 'Saturday Superstore' in 1984. Starting at about 9.30 in the morning and played five songs in between Timmy Mallett plugging the Wide Awake Club and Bonnie Langford on how to jazz up your old dresses by using glitter and shiny paper

The Best Limahl Theme Tune to a misleadingly titled fantasy adventure movie might be The Never Ending Story (BBC1 Sunday 3.05pm - actual running time 90 minutes)
Also, be careful of what you read on the Internet, I was searching to see if Limahl appears in that movie and this site popped up
https://thestudioexec.com/gary-oldman-directs-kajagoogoo-biopic/Gary Oldman is to direct his second feature film with a biopic of British Eighties pop group Kajagoogoo.
Too Shy represents a radical change in direction for Oldman, whose first film Nil By Mouth was a grimly realistic portrayal of domestic violence, starring Ray Winstone.
Ray Winstone returns, however, in the role of Limahl the egotistical lead singer of the group which had hits with ‘Ooh to Be Aaah’ and ‘Too Shy’ before exploding in an orgy of hair spray and recriminations. Jonah Hill will play bassist – and arch rival – Nick Beggs ... what you don’t know about Ray is he used to play keyboards for Bow Wow Wow and so he knows that world intimately. They kicked him out just after they released ‘Go Wild in the Country’ and he’s been very bitter about it.
Alright, I'm gullible
That site is completely bogus. I did like the idea of Ray Winstone playing keyboards in Bow Wow Wow, though. 0 -

Via time machine???Weird Youtube archive performance this week is when Motorhead played live on Saturday Morning ITV Kids show 'Saturday Superstore' in 1984. Starting at about 9.30 in the morning and played five songs in between Timmy Mallett plugging the Wide Awake Club and Bonnie Langford on how to jazz up your old dresses by using glitter and shiny paper
https://imotorhead.com/tour-history/1984-10-06/[/YOUTUBE]
There's a video at that link for anyone who doesn't want to plough through the entire kids' TV show looking for bits of Motorhead
Don't think that show ever made it to the Ulster TV region, not too surprising if Motorhead was their choice of guest :pac: (but see the end credits, there is something called "Boy Zone" :eek::eek: )
Not that I would have been interested in getting up at 9:15 or whatever by 1984 (I'd entered my teens) on a Saturday morning to watch a bloody kids' TV show. Why not have a show about music and put bands on that, they could call it music television or something, might catch on...The Dublin Airport cap is damaging the economy of Ireland as a whole, and must be scrapped forthwith.
