The Only Ones

On 'Later' BBC2 10pm tonight, performing Another Girl Another Planet. Very Happy
Yep, it's thirty years too late and they'll probably be rubbish but I don't care.

I really, really wish they hadn't. It was dreadful and very sad - Mr Perrett looks like the living dead.

I've recorded last night's live show (hmm, recording a live show - something a bit lost in the translation yet). I shall watch it tomorrow night, and then compare and contrast with Friday's. I did hear on the grapevine however that the Only Ones weren't very good...

He does rather. Still, I'm listening to the originals now, so some good came out of it.

Proper version of 'Another Girl Another Planet'.
