British Series
The first season was picked up in the UK by Janet Street Porter at the BBC where it ran for three more seasons.
The British series, while still focused on providing a showcase for bands, also featured other artists including comedians. It was broadcast on BBC2 at 6.00pm on Monday evenings and repeated in a late night slot on Sunday nights. It also aired on pan-European TV channel Super Channel and in other countries in Europe, such as Russia, Portugal, Denmark and Greece.
The theme tune for one series was "House Building," which was replaced by "Human Nature", both by Gary Clail.

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or series:
“The British are a self-distrustful, diffident people, agreeing with alacrity that they are neither successful nor clever, and only modestly claiming that they have a keener sense of humour, more robust common sense, and greater staying power as a nation than all the rest of the world put together.”
—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
“Galileo, with an operaglass, discovered a more splendid series of celestial phenomena than anyone since.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
