On alighter note, could the second clip with the straw hat be the winner of the most genuinely deranged/fucked up/dangerous looking frontman appearance of all time on TOTP? He's got that real slit-eyed drunk Glasgow stare that I saw many times in the 70's - like you could be about to get a glass in the face. And he's far too pissed to be acting!
