When I was a teenager, when I got home from school I would make myself a cup of tea, pour myself an enormous bowl of Cornflakes and settle down to watch MTV Select (which boasts such alumnae as Cat Deeley, Donna Air, Lisa Snowdon, Kelly Brook, Edith Bowman, Richard Blackwood ['member him?!]...) until dinnertime.
Videos ruled my life then much as now (forget about homework), and the on-demand nature of Youtube and current cable programming doesn't have the same charm as waiting through an hour of Donna Air chuntering on and on to callers while you're waiting for the latest Britney single to finally come on.
Anyway, After-School Videos will be an occasional, totally self-interested blast of nostalgia for no other reason than I love nineties pop.
So here is Texas, 'In Demand':
Crap song, but ALAN RICKMAN! Doing the TANGO!
Look at Sharleen's face - never has a woman been so happy. And what is she doing to him with her knee?
Amazing.
(And note the 'twist' at the end - you see what they did there? You see? Clever.)
