We found this, either on one of the really old archive tapes, or on another "promo" style piece, I can't remember which. (Aside: there were a number of compilations set to music knocking about in the early 1990s, set to Jean-Michel Jarre's "Rendez-Vous" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". They were so overplayed that I couldn't listen to either piece of music for years afterwards. Not sure if you still have them?).

Anyway, as far as we could tell, Lacklustre was a direct rip-off of that Bob Holness classic, Blockbusters, which first went on air in (thanks, Google) 1983 - so I guess this puts it as mid-80s. SarahD 12:18, 10 July 2007 (BST)

Yes I've seen both of them - not sure if they survive on their own but RendezVous is in one of your open days (as late at 1996 I think, which from what I can tell is about 6/7 years after most of the clips were filmed!) and Sledgehammer was regularly used in Network so survives there.

I haven't seen any of Lacklustre anywhere outside that clip though - indeed most of the B&W stuff from closure appears to have either bit the dust or been nicked at some point, so in some ways it's a good job a "history of YSTV" prom was made at that point as it saved much of it!
