Slade in Flame

[wadhurstseagull]

On BBC Four tonight. Great film with final scenes in Brighton. Stop that fancy footwork now and give us a goal......

 

[timco]

Got it on DVD and now downloaded (and it is on Youtube for those who have missed it tonight) I think it is a great film for what it is. Considering the band are, well just pop stars, they did a fantastic job.

 

[glasfryn]

I have recorded it and will watch it later , maybe next year

Salde?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

What did they have with their Cup-a-Soups in the end: Pop Tarts or Biscuits?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Any football related bits to the film?

 

[wadhurstseagull]

About half way through they mention the possibility of Zamora re joining us in the transfer window..........

I remember Slade playing at the Goldstone ground, think it was at half time.

I interviewed Noddy Holder last year, he is one of the finest people ever born

They filmed video for "Give us a Goal" there - available on You Tube with fine scenes of the North Stand.

How's Dave Hill these days? I hope he's got that wayward fringe under control.

It wasn't with Slade, but it was in a large room full of sandwiches and he wouldn't stop talking. In hindsight it was one of the best days of my life, even if the interview was meant to be with Tony Iommi. He also took me continually saying "ALROOOIGHT NODDAY!" in good humour.

Can't think where yow got that one from loike. Mind you, it's probs just as well Don (Powell) wasn't there - as he'd have continually chinned ya for sayin' it (as he'd forget that he'd already chinned ya several times for sayin' it). You had a right touch there me ol' China.

ps Was The Nodd dipping his spam sarnies in his cuppa soup?

And I'm in it. We booed all through the video shoot though. Don't know why, just something we did.

And we kept singing "Noddy Holder, he's a wanker, he's a wanker" much to the annoyance of the tannoy announcer.

I do remember going to see this at the Dome in Worthing and being totally underwhelmed by it. My only vestigial memory is of Dave Hill being a goofy twat in high heels.

 

[wadhurstseagull]

The film got slated at the time - everyone was expecting a Beatles/Monkees style effort but instead got a gritty exposé of the music business. It is now held on high esteem as a good example of the genre. The sound track is great.

Mark Kermode said on the Film Review yesterday on Five Live that it was the best film of the weekend, along with Die Hard 2
