This was a massive inspiration to me as a Kid because from this point on I knew what I wanted to do, To Be a musician / Engineer and to work for the BBC. Today I work For the BBC and I am a Musician and an Engineer. Brilliant, Brilliant film. And that Technics Deck the set was designed on, I once saw at a Hifi Exhibition, always wanted one! Still have the catalogue.
A "top pop group" in 1981 they were no longer.. a sad combination of band living on past glories and management doing the nudge-nudge-brown-envelope shuffle.
What a fascinating video have been a 10cc fan since. they started also used to watch swap shop with my children but I missed this little gem until now!!
HI Ian, fantastic upload and what a great band, my dad worked in TV/film lighting and was always talking about setting up shows and how it was tricky sometimes, listening to the 20ft scaffold poles through the window brought back memories.
Thanks very much for the uploads, Ian! I'd watched the interview with Eric first which was very nice and amusing and wondered where the first bit was -- now I've found it! So, you worked on Swap Shop, Ian? It must have been a fascinating job!
This is fantastic that you have this, Ian. How on earth did you get it - do you have a relative who worked on Swap Shop or something? Anyway thank you so much for posting this. I can clearly remember watching this when it was originally shown. I must admit I was a tad (heaps really) disappointed that Maggie didn't speak to the band ( I mean Eric!). But it was great to watch anyway, and I particularly remember the guys having their lunch on Brighton beach. Many many thanks.
Dear Helena, no relative worked on it, I did. It was live and great fun, so I recorded some episodes as keep sakes. Noel interviewed Eric in the studio, towards the end of the show, shall I post that?
Dear Chris, great to hear from you. Yes, Swap-shop was great fun to work on. I recorded a few of the shows as keepsakes. Hope you are keeping well, what are you doing these days ?

do you use any Calrec gear?
They don't make them like that anymore.
Lovely story!
Wow! This is pre health and safety. No hard hats or hi-visability jackets. Just jeans, T-shirts and long hair. Interesting.

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. Love 10cc, amazing band!
The 70s and 80s are the best.

Dear Astra, yes I was lucky enough to work on Swap-shop and yes, it was great fun!
Chris Neagle (sound engineer) was a producer at factory records after Martin Hannett left.
1981 habe ich sie live erlebt in der Jahrhunderthalle in Frankfurt. Musikalisch das Beste was ich live erlebt habe!

Nice one Ian. This was fun to do but I didn't realise any copies existed. Good to see it after all these years.
Dear Chris, great to hear from you. Yes, Swap-shop was great fun to work on. I recorded a few of the shows as keepsakes. Hope you are keeping well, what are you doing these days ?
Fantastic..first time i have seen this. What a band!
the guy on the tour bus is really selling it to Maggie
Hi, Ian
Do you really have the interview with Eric? Please, please post it when you get time. I can't believe anyone has these. HUGE THANKS to you.
Dear Helena, sorry for the delay, but I have finally found time to upload the Eric Stewart interview. Hope you enjoy it!
This was a superb line-up of 10cc.
I love it ... topless, long haired roadies. Lucky Maggie!
That chief rigger sure has some beautiful hair
he first big band i saw live ,at the capital theatre cardiff 1976
Great
Great times best worst band ever
Interesting insight into setting up for a gig. Maggie Philbin - ahh yes I remember I had a crush on her as a teen!
tough job
👍👍💘
It's a shame the band wasn't travelling from Rochdale to Ocho Rios.
No I'm afraid we're on the way to Dorking
Maybe they were ready to go home.
