The Old Grey Whistle Test

Some fantastic clips on here....keep em coming. OGWT was a great way to hear and see bands that would never been seen on the likes of TOTP.
 
Excellent excellent TV - TOTP was for your Mum, Dad and sisters - OGWT was for music lovers - it wasn't all great but that makes it even better - the fact that all this diverse music got an airing on the BBC albeit late on in the days when telly shut own at midnight is just amazing. I recall the Ramones. Bob Marley, New York Dolls - so many

The system has it sewn up now these kind of bands have it so much harder as the industry won't support new talent in the same way - yes there is the internet but in these days the main channel beamed it right at you in your lounge and you could see bands and decide what is and isn't for you as it were !!

Tell you what if this had been repeated i full episode by episode on BBC3 no way would that now be off to on line only ha ha ha !!
