Performing live on the very first edition of Channel 4 comedy show "Saturday Live", which as the title suggests was transmitted live on 12th January 1985. It was bassist Anthony Harty's last appearance with the band.

They performed Speak Like A Child and were later joined by guest presenter, comedian Lenny Henry, for a version of You're The Best Thing. Lenny became an Honorary Councillor a few months later when he provided lead vocals for The Stand Up Comic's Instructions on Our Favourite Shop.

The clip was edited together from 3 different sources for a more complete version. Clips sourced from MisterCoolsDream, Mattypark (Speak..) and swfc60 (YTBT)
