Bodyshop Volume 1
-- used video cassette in excellent condition - fully tested - pal format --
This a beauty! Technically it's a 'get fit' TV show hosted by athletics superstar Daley Thompson. But this tape is pure comedy...
I bought it because it's got Dame Edna Everage in it. She slips into her 1980's designer gym wear (think Olivia Newton John in Physical) and joins Daley Thompson for a workout in the gym. You get 10 or 15 minutes of Dame Edna in the gym - classic stuff! It is quite funny, a nice little rarity for Dame Edna \ Barry Humphries fans.
But the true gem on this video is the Rick Wakeman (keyboard wizard from Yes) segment which has the most bizare video montage I have ever seen...
Somehow the producers manage to convince Rick to play his keyboard whilst riding an exercise bike montaged with footage of some guy attempting a world press-up record. The song is specially written by Rick for the occassion and is called Pressed for Time (wa-wa-waaahhh...) It's hard to describe, you have to see it - it's very cheesy, very 80's, very strange and very bad. No wonder Rick is an official Grumpy Old Man. This is a great little treasure for the Yes fan who has almost everything.
The rest of the tape is Daley Thompson telling us how to keep fit, Army of Nerds recommend you fast forward these bits.
I have been hunting rare videos for years and this only the third copy I have ever come across, if you want it, don't forget to bid!
