- Andy Kershaw presents The Smiths performing 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' and "Vicar in a Tutu" from the album 'The Queen Is Dead' on the BBC's 'Whistle Test' series in 1986. This show is often named on UA-cam as the Old Grey Whistle test, but by the time of this Smiths performance, the show had been renamed "Whistle Test" I recorded this on a Sony C6 Mono Betamax VCR.

1 of over 2000 music videos on this channel, all taken from my videotape collection,
The two months from “Bigmouth” through to “Panic” marked The Smiths imperial phase. For that brief period they were the best group in the whole world, and as this and their performance on “Euro Tube” a few weeks later demonstrated, they knew it.
Joyce is underrated. Bloke's a machine.
Andy Rourke with the mighty slab body Precision Bass.
THAT'S WHERE VANILLA ICE GOT THE IDEA FOR HIS HAIRCUT 😆
Love Morrissey's vocal delivery on "Bigmouth".
Andy Kershaw's introduction is superb.
Truly the greatest band in the english language.
Andy Kershaw was spot on. The music endures to this day. Nice post 👍
Noel Gallagher sure modelled himself on Johnny Marr....
big country performing "teacher" in the beggining if someone interested
At the age of 53, I can safely say for a time and a place there has never been a TV performance that ever meant so much to me. We were late on the go with a video recorder but this was played to death...
It’s 2020. And I still fucking love the Smiths. I remember seeing this on live TV as a kid. Utterly blew me away. Have been a fan ever since.
I always come back to this performance. One of my favorite ones, if not the favorite one. Sometimes I wish The Smiths lasted longer together..., but maybe it's their impact achieved in such a short time that makes them so special ❤
God damn that bass. I won this album on a radio station in 1989 in florida. Wore that thing out. WFIT 89.7 fm “your only alternative”

Finally, the Andy Kershaw intro :)
I can actually remember watching this programme I worked in a chicken processing factory at the time and I was 18 years old and living in the North of England maximum respect to the smiths for playing Carlisle twice at the height of their career and at the height of their career they were the biggest band in the world
Wow, finally got to see the Vicar side of this presentation -thanks mate!
Oh that guitar and Morrissey did hair so well.
