I'm trying to remember the name of a TV program. It was a bit like Desert Island Discs but the celeb would choose say 5 tracks and the BBC or whoever (maybe Channel 4) would commission film makers to make a pop video for the requested songs - the songs were usually 60s or 70s where no videos had been made when they had originally been released.

I can remember Fish from Marillion was the celeb one week and he chose a track called Stars by Janice Ian.

Along with Pop Quiz and RockSchool it was my fav program at the time

No idea.

Should be listed on imdb, though

For Fish to be on it from back when he was in Marillion it would have been after Kayleigh (otherwise he'd not have been a big enough celebrity) and before he left, which limits it a bit. I've no memory of the programme, though.

If it was Channel 4, maybe you can find it from this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_4_programming

It lists quite a bit of stuff, but not sure if it's complete.

Thanks for suggestions so far - IMDB drew a blank. The date was prob 1985 (possibly 1984). No dice on the C4 wiki thing either. I'll continue the search!1

Golden Oldie Picture Show?

Are you sure it wasn't this segment off the Old Grey Whistle Test?

Thanks for your help
