In which The Gentleman engages in decidedly ungentlemanly deportment as an arrogant and egotistical film director.

I used to love watching that series in the early 90's late on a Friday night i think?
Was it UTV showed it?
The Bowie one was a two parter? my memory's bad sorry.
Still haven't gotten round to buying it on DVD,it was a great series.

Didn't click on the link, but I remember Bowie appearing on a very, very American looking sitcom, outside in a sunny pool area, surrounded by yes men / women. He was playing a conceited movie director & being insulting:
"we're playing a game, we're trying to guess which root vegetable most resembles John's (?) head, someone suggested a turnip, but I don't think that's bulbous enough".


I remember in early '93 or late '92 Bowie appeared as himself in a new sitcom called Full Stretch, set in the world of stretch limos. He was playing himself and was supposedly on tour / shooting a music video in London.

The plot was far fetched, the driver parked on a double yellow and the limo got towed away and impounded, with Bowie still in there, asleep. The driver got the car out of the pound without Bowie being any the wiser. Thought it was funny when the driver said " I'm your biggest fan, got all your albums & I really liked Tin Machine". Bowie groaned.

Back then, I was hoping to hear songs from his new, unreleased solo album on the show. But, nothing was played. Still, it was good to see Dave on the box, raising his profile a little ahead of BTWN.


EDIT, watched it now, thanks for that, Sparks I do remember seeing that, but I don't think the scene I described was there, maybe he appeared in another episode.

Yeah I've got that on video somewhere Alan. Not bad.

The Dream On clip is adorable Mr. Bowie looks like he's having so much fun.
The limo stuff sounds so totally 1974. ("Lessee...all I have to do is sleep in a limo? I'm in!")
Love to see it - is the video available anywhere on the planet?

It was definitely murder - but was it art?

Thanks , Good to see something for the first time.......
