i figure dietmar will know this...
what dates did the police appear on the "kenny everett video show"?
i am in contact with someone who may have some old recordings which can be digitized, but i need to know which series / episodes / airdates were....

these songs were 'performed' at various points:
it's alright for you (which we already have seen on the police live vhs / laserdisc release)
beds too big without you .... do you know the date this was performed?
spirits (christmas '81)
king of pain (christmas '83)

It's Alright For You / The Bed's Too Big
look like they were shot on the same day - probably December 1979 or January 1980
there's a small bit announcing the broadcast in Record Mirror - February 23, 1980
it's said the broadcast would be next week
the band flew to the States on January 19, so the TV recording was before that day...

Spirits In The Material World
I would place it somewhere around December 10, 1981 - but that's just an educated guess...
very much the looks from their TOTP recording and the Marquee gig...

King Of Pain
it's either December 7 or 8 in 1983, probably December 7
check the PoliceWiki text for this day: http://www.policefans.org/Police_wiki/i ... 1983-12-07

i watched the Spirits performance last night.

"welcome to the sex symbol request spot"

"this is for brenda from birmingham"... rubs sting's nipple

"this is for callie from kings lynn"...kisses gordo on the cheek.

"and most of all, this is for Agnes from aberystwyth"

leaps on gordo, they writhe around for a bit til Gordo, now straddling Keny, says "thank you agnes" fades to spirits performance
