Never Mind The Rip-Off

Never Mind The Rip-Off was, as the name suggests, a straight rip-off of BBC2's Never Mind The Buzzcocks. The titles formed another rip-off, being composed of music video clips taped from MTV (in some cases still with the MTV overlay visible!).

Genre:
Broadcast: 1998/2000
Producer(s): Graham Quince
Alex Hudson
Graham Quince as host

There were two editions made, the first in 1998 (produced and presented by Graham Quince who had actually graduated a year previously!) and the second in 2000 (presented by James Brookes and shown as part of Election Night 2000).

In the Archive

The titles are recorded twice on Umatic U1 a short distance apart. The content is the same, but the first copy has the audio level far too high and distorted, where as the second one is at a more reasonable level. Interestingly the leader clock credits "Debbie" in the producer field. Record date is 01/11/1998.
