He was really nice, funny and quite open about his time in Kwackers.<br />I grew up watching the show as a kid and then got quite into the Ska scene later on. I eventually did locate timecoded footage of the show from a retired Yorkshire TV employee.<br /><br />That footage was given to me on a Betamax cassette which i recorded digitally and uploaded to Youtube. It was at that time the only full episode to be widely shared. The clips above are from my Betamax tape.<br /><br />Since then, there has been a DVD released of all existing TV episodes of the show. I like to think that the popularity of the shared episode (titled "Stars")may well have inspired the issuing of the DVD.<br /><br />One more snippet on unrelated info... I live just off the street where Roddy Byers (The Specials) grew up!
