In the late 80s (probably around 88/89) I used to watch a music programme on Sunday mornings. I think it was on C4. It was quite indie and serious, featured The Fall amongst others and it only lasted a series or two.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. Google has not helped.

Anyone know?

The only one I can think of is The Tube.

According to this The Chart show started off on C4 before moving to ITV

Was it Wired?

Or was that on BBC2?

The existence of www.wired.com has smashed any chance of finding the 80s tv programme on Google.

It wasn't The Tube. It was definitely on on a Sunday morning.

Could have been Wired though I'll have to investigate.

Sunday morning repeat, maybe?

But yes, I remember those titles!

Made me remember The Beat, which was pretty good in its day.

Was it the one with Peter Cook doing the intros? Very late 70's early 80s?

That was great, can't remember what it was called now though.

Revolver is it?

I think it was on very late on a Saturday night, there wasn't any tele in the morning on a Sunday back then was there? biggrin

Presumably not... Either I misread the OP or it's been changed as it wasn't LATE 80s. Still, thanks for making me look up Revolver, great memories smile

What about "The White Room"? Time period is about right, but I didn't think it was on Sunday mornings unless that was a repeat. I recall it featuring some stuff like The Boo Radleys and My Life Story, but not the rest.

None of the above, but thanks for giving it some consideration! It was only because I was writing a blog post and wanted to refer to the programme but the OCD in me needed to know what it was called.

Must have been one of those obscure here today gone tomorrow programmes.

Wasn't No Limits on BBC2 early evening on weekdays? I seem to remember watching it after getting home from school.

As it seems to be a trend to accuse pop presenters from the '80s of molesting their audience ...
Jenny Powell put her hand down my pants!

I may have dreamt this (quite a few times)
