#JohnThaw playing a gay Welshman (unless that's just his Welsh accent) in #Budgie (opposite #AdamFaith) is a real gem. No, it's not just the accent.

I so love #TalkingPicturesTV 🙏

And #IanCuthbertson barely getting a look in.

Adam Faith - It's Alright - Rooster (1965) • TopPop

His last words were spot on: "Channel 5 is all shit, isn't it? Christ, the crap they put on there. It's a waste of space".

I'd not heard it before I saw #GoodMorningVietnam.

I'd not heard It's Alright by Adam Faith before I saw Good Morning Vietnam. Loved it and had to look it up after. I couldn't believe it was Adam Faith.

Put this clip up on YouTube 9 years ago with #RobinWilliams doing his stuff.

Here's the remastered original mono version of It's Alright by Adam Faith.

What's not to like about a track with handclaps, harmonica and guitar solos, frantic backing singers and a hyperactive bass player.

Great stuff. Lasts 2m40s - of which the opening 32 seconds is a very boring, slow unnecessary intro for people who don't know what comes after.

Advent Calendar - 22 - Adam Faith - Lonely Pup in a Christmas Shop

There's something so beautifully conventional about pre-Beatles (or maybe pre-Stones) British pop music - Adam Faith was a teen-idol, but definitely with his good looks, and well turned out appearance a teen-idol your parents were probably OK with.
