28:20 Shawn Ryder was DEFINETLY withdrawing heavily when this was filmed. I'm getting a panic attack just by looking at him.

[@peternagy-im4be]

What in gods name was Ryder on back then?

[@TheOldHacker]

@@peternagy-im4be He's not withdrawing, he's gouching out. Heroin does that to you.

No wonder most old people wear glasses. Staring at old analog televisions every day did do its damage.

[@sodiumlights]

🤣 Yeah, gone are the days of parents telling not to get to close to the TV otherwise they will go blind! Look at 'em now, kids raised holding bright bloody tablet screens.

Hi, do you have the pilot episode if Atletico Partick?

[@HalfbrickVHS]

Hi there, I don't think so. I've got hundreds of tapes to go through which may have some rare comedy stuff, so i'll keep an eye out.

No wonder Moby felt closer to Ian than Johnny rotten. He's more depressing than Robert Smith and Morrissey put together 😂😂😂

Everybody involved with Factory. Not just the Bands the main people who were supposed to be running the show for them. Were all off their heads 24/7 for a good while. That red table which cost £20 k plus was covered in Beak during board meetings . I was around Hillarie’s ( one of Tony Wilson’s former wives) when Tony turned up off his head in his Jag . He thought he was Timothy Leary ? Turn on Tune in Drop out ? Some sort of Guru ?

[@leoarc1061]

So, the table cost thousands of pounds, Tony Wilson drove a Jag, and yet, New Order weren't getting paid. Interesting. Martin Hannett was right. He was right.

It's only 49 minutes?! I thought it would be 24:00:00

Shaun and Bez should have ran the Hacienda!!

[@TheAdArchive]

Hooky comes across as a really nice guy… not!

[@StephenBatty]

I've seen him fake dj like a teeny bopper, and then also blame ian curtis's partner for his suicide. So yeah very dislikeable

[@remko1238]

Amazing bass player but pompous ass with his cover band “lightning whatever”
