Also wonderfully nostalgic for those of us in Birmingham in the late 70s where this was filmed.
Off the top of my head...the whitre building at the beginning is the old ATV centre where the studio was (now long gone) and the fountain is outside the Birmingham Rep theatre in Broad St. I think the fountain is still there but the rest of Broad St is unrecognisable.

Gosh what a nostalgic clip! Like Bill I can remenber Birmingham from that era; v.different now and maybe not for the better. After all if you climbed into the fountain now you wouldn't have time to get even slightly damp before the Health and Safety Police would be down on you like a ton of bricks!

I have the whole album! Two music tracks and lots of sketches. Slapstick in sound only is pretty rubbish but good to hear the catchphrases again.
It's on vinyl but working on a way to convert my appalling record collection to CD.
Altogether now..."Compost Corner!"

I have to confess Bill, I have all three Tiswas vids, I use to use them regular in Scarlets, esp on Saturday night with the theme tune etc.

If you ever find out how to do this please let us know. It's possible but have no idea how to go about it.

there must be a lead that can go from a record player into a pc by now im sure.... intriguing, i've never tried to move any of my vinyl onto cd or mp3 format. yet, anyway.

you can get a USB thingumy, that takes audio from your vinyl, and pre-amps it into your pc..i think.
crikey that doesn't help at all does it?
