I'm sure everyone is familiar with the clip of this on the "TV Madness" bit of the old Hits DVD, but I'd never seen the full thing until now, didn't realise it was on Youtube.

Jarvis looks hilariously uncomfortable and confused the whole way through, and after the mimed Common People the host (Red Ronnie) escorts him to a TV/VCR so he can force him to watch a VHS recording he'd made of Robbie Williams doing a Jarvis impression and singing "I wanna sleep with Robbie Williams". It's exquisite.

There's a "performance" of Disco 2000 on the same show, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzWCaFLoXY0&list=RDpzWCaFLoXY0&start_radio=1

Sadly Red Ronnie is now bat**** insane, he was always a bit of a conspiracy theorist but turbocharged during the Covid days. Think if Jools Holland turned into David Icke. 

He's convinced that he's in contact with Jimi Hendrix in the afterlife, who is actually an alien. He's planning to visit Earth soon to meet up with Ronnie. Jarvis should go along to the meeting!

No wonder the never played in Italia til 2012! (Great gig though - near Udine in the north, Madness headlined the previous day. A group of Ska-obsessives from Genoa gave me a lift from the hotel. Thought they were gonna kidnap me and take me to the coast of Liguria. In hindsight, I wouldn't have minded...)

But yeah, Red Ronnie was... unique. There's a hilarious clip of Suede on the same show a year or so prior when promoting Dog Man Star material and Brett Anderson is asked to translate drug references ("What is this "dove in her head?" etc.)!
