Goodness, how pleasing to see the actual Fenby from her song, and the film from whence came her idea. The more I play vids about Kate, the more these wonderful old rarities pop up. Thanks to all who preserved the bits that reveal her genius.
I'm glad I found this video, I thought the name Delius in her song was in reference to some Greek god of Summer. And now I also know what the "Ta, ta, ta" in the song is about; always thought it was eerie and came from nowhere, but from watching the clip of that movie in this video it makes perfect sense. Looks like an interesting film and story.
As a kid , I used to see Harty on TV all the time and, like Wogan, you just accepted him as omnipresent... But now you can see what a bitter old queen he was... '...that Kate Bush display we've just witnessed' and 'haven't we been into Bronteland?'... Kate's face just says it all when she replies "yes "we" have..' Ie: fuck you Harty!!
He was capable of better than this, I grant you that. Before either were famous, he was a friend of no less a writer than Alan Bennett. They met when they were both teaching at Giggleswick Preparatory School for boys. So I assume he could hold up a better conversation than this. He trivialised himself in pursuit of celebrity. I'm not surprised Grace Jones biffed him - he's so irritating!
No, don't give up. Just play the clip again. The presenter does an excellent job of summarising exactly who Eric Fenby was. All you have to do is pay attention.
Kate Bush was (and still is) amazing! I liked Russell Harty: he was good to work with and was certainly nobody's fool! Russell had a style of presentation that endeared him to the viewing public. He was a very, very nice man and a true professional. Sadly missed! Are those EMI 2005 cameras briefly appearing in shot???
If you type "BBC TV Hell - Chat Shows Part 1" (it's over there in the list just to the right), you'll find that this includes the Grace Jones/Russell Harty episode, though it takes ages to get there.
@paulreed1 i agree, but she was a young pop singer at the time rather than the accomplished artist she is today- although I love NFE a lot. This was the way people were treated on the bbc back then!
One of her first interviews on the BBC was with Desmond Morris, who was completely respectful and engaging. She's a shy person, and not at all narcissistic - she always wrote for characters and stories rather than directly about herself, explaining that she considered herself rather boring. Her best interviews have been some of the extended conversations she has had with arts journalists on BBC radio, certainly this century, and her one interview about the success of Running Up That Hill was with Woman's Hour on Radio 4.
I don't think Kate got on with bras. In the late 60s a lot of women binned them and Kate was coming up to adolescense then. They are uncomfortable contraptions much of the time!
kate bush was and still is one of the world's most beautiful and fascinating women.

Kate Bush is always so dignified and lady-like. She puts the men to shame.
Kate looks amazing! Especially in that jumper! :D!

The Ken Russell show about Delius is now on DVD in the US! Look for "Ken Russell at the BBC" on amazon! Yay, it's about time.
Grace Jones slapping Russell Harty is on here, under "BBC TV Hell - Chat Shows Part 1", I think. It's some way in.
wonder if the boxing gloves were because the previous week grace jones was on his show hitting him
Great to see Eric Fenby!

Very enjoyable. Thanks.
Kate Bush is everything
I really like the music for the end credits
Haha love this woman
I really want to see that interview with Grace Jones and Russell Harty now!!!
Can anyone post this on youtube and let me know!!!Thanks!
Shame this video clip had the Kate's actual song edited out...

Does anyone know a link to see the attack with grace jones
hey, i can´t find the clip what's going on at the beginning of this show :(
Grace Jones was bad to Russell Harty
right?
Why cut the song..??

This has just reminded me why I could never stand to watch Russell Farty.
I know, great, isn't it?
! Let the choirs in Heaven sing out, Harty is dead!
maybe hed still have been alive if hed have taken precautions.
Delius or Harty?
What a weird comment. Are you still alive, I wonder?
yeah i wanna see her slap him!
I hope you are right. Because her last LP Aerial, was a load of tripe!
Btw, is it my filthy imagination or is Kate Bush really bra-less here? It appears that she is. Just wondering.
I don't think Kate got on with bras. In the late 60s a lot of women binned them and Kate was coming up to adolescense then. They are uncomfortable contraptions much of the time!
she went braless a lot it was kinda common during the late 70s
too bad kate aged poorly
Good God, man, she aged - that is all. Get over yourself.
Lol you sound like a spurned lover!!!
she ages beautifully ,... to bad you have ageism ...
The things people type from behind their keyboards. I suspect Kate Bush is the happier of the two.
I'm not going to lie, I still think she's as beautiful as ever... In fact, I think it's aged very well.
