| 67.1 | Is it up to standard ! | SUBURB::COATESA | | Wed May 11 1988 22:00 | 27 |

I must own up and admit that I did watch "WIRED" the previous
week, but as you did I felt that the programme showed us nothing
new.
Isnt it about time the B.B.C. and I.T.V. realise what the music
fan wanted? I.T.V. ranted and raved about the "ROXY" and tried to
win every one over from T.O.T.P. But what happened ? They did'nt
get the veiwers. So they tried another plan of attack. They put
the programme on so late at night that no-one stayed up to watch
it anyway.
The only programme that really came up to scratch was The Tube.
But again that was srcapped.
maybe Janet Street Porter may come up with something!
I would be interested in other "Noters" views on this matter

| 67.3 | Whistle Test, R.I.P. | ERIC::SALLITT | Dave @RKG or LZO | Thu May 12 1988 14:15 | 10 |
| Without wanting to get into a "those were the days" argument, the
Old Grey Whistle Test had to be the best contemporary music prog
*any* station ever broadcast. They used to blend sessions of
established stars from outside the charts along with others trying
to break new ground and in my view achieved an excellent balance.
I sat up New Year's Eve to watch the final show, it made me wish
I hadn't missed so many of the other shows over the years.

| I'm not sure whether or not it is a music (specifically) programme,
but I did see a programme on Tuesday night called DEF II (I think)
which looked quite good.
Any one else see it?

| Yup - FSd (as mentioned earlier) is part of DEF II. However those
of you who caught it last week (Wednesdays) will have noticed an
over-use of writing scribbled all over the screen as the acts
performed. According to the Sunday Mail this was supposed
to be "satirical ... ha ha.

| Last Night!
I watched (for the second time), FSd on BBC2 about 6:45, and as
mentioned in -.1 there is TOOO Much scribling on the screen, of
which half Is ilegible or on it's side scrolling from top to bottom
or visa versa.
The actual programme is a welcome sight, but the writing is unbearable!
Well that's my opinion anyhow, what does everyone else think?

| 67.7 | Soup Dragon inf? | RDGENG::MACFADYEN | Roderick MacFadyen | Thu May 19 1988 16:31 | 9 |
| Yes, too much writing on the screen. It's almost like they think
just showing the band playing is too boring. The other thing that's
irritating on FSD is the little advert-style breaks that they keep
having for no apparent reason.
But, still a good program. I really liked the Soup Dragons, good
guitar-based stuff. Anyone know if they've released any records?

| Don't know much about the Soup Dragons except that everyone is
raving about them back home ... I have to take this on authority
at the moment ! Don't read the writing, concentrate on the acts
and you'll be alright - it isn't half hard work though ...
What about him in Hue & Cry though - pretentious or what ?!

The Soup Dragons have released a new album this month, it's called
"This Is Our Art" and got a decent enough review in "Q" magazine.
