The Young Ones - Bambi, Nasty & Time
[Released November 1990]
In 1984 The Damned perform their song "Nasty" on the same titled episode. Performing lineup was Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies,
Bryn Merrick and Roman Jugg.
Captain Sensible was interviewed by
tomaroundtheworld.com and asked about The Young Ones experience:
Tom: In the 80's The Damned were the musical guests on the hilariously funny British comedy series "The Young Ones" in the
episode: "Nasty." As a fan of the show I am curious: During the shoot, did you have much interaction with the show's stars?
Captain: Yeah, pretty much, they're a good laugh. But the funniest thing was after the show, where, uh, we went to
an Indian restaurant, and we got very very drunk, and we ended up marching up and down the tables, y'know, kicking the food
all over the place. And people who had nothing to do with the Young Ones or the Damned were getting covered with curry.
Not a good thing to get all over your clothes. And we got thrown out. And the funny thing is, is someone from the BBC
magazine RadioTimes was turning up to interview the Young Ones' cast for the start of the series, y'know and by the time
they got there, we'd all been kicked out.
Tom: Which character was your favorite?
Captain: I liked the one with stars on his forehead.
Tom: Vivian. He's mine too.
Captain: There's a lot of things in the world that need to be kicked right up the arse. I think he's kind of an
example to us all.
Rat's opinion from the book "The Light at the End of the Tunnel" by Carol Clerk:
"I thought it was the funniest episode so far. Vanian looked fantastic and I had a shot to myself, clowning with drum sticks."

The Old Grey Whistle Test
[Released September 2001]
Launched in 1971 and considered the UK's most influential live music show for a wide variety of acts.
To mark the 30th Anniversary of the first show, 45 performances have been
compiled including The Damned performing "Smash It Up" and "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" in 1979.
The equipment smashing ending is explained by Rat:
"We were mid tour and had a new single that we'd never played live. You couldn't NOT do the Whistle Test if you
were asked but we were all a bit nervous so we pre-arranged that if we made a pigs ear of it we'd do the sensational
thing instead. That was, sadly, what we chose."
