Bananarama - In At The Deep End Rock Video Director - BBC One 10/02/1987

[@davidkmatthews]

Many thanks for the upload! I saw this on original transmission and thought Paul Heiney did a terrific job, given his complete lack of previous experience - albeit many of the crew would have given him some good advice. The girls said they hated the video but, as we saw earlier in the programme, they approved Paul's ideas - and even threw in a few of their own... so their later reaction seems rather disingenuous. Of the negative comments put forward by the contributors at the end of the show, I think Michael Hurll's assertion that all three girls should have been seen at the start of the video and Ken Russell's view that we shouldn't have seen the stranger's face were the only fair criticisms.

You're welcome

Checking this out after watching At the BBC at the weekend

2 hours of delay due to discussions on make-up colour for the b&w video. Sounds like a line from French and Saunders😅

[@bananaramafanclub3679]

Yep it sounds exactly like that.

[@JRLOC]

The other version is 100% better imo but this is amazing to see. I never saw it in the 80s and wasn’t aware this version existed.

[@bananaramafanclub3679]

Both versions are good but the USA version still better, the girls said it.

[@mikekaraoke]

One thing saying never saw it in the 80's, as you prob wasn't born or was 10 months old! But to say wasn't aware this version o f Venus existed is very mind boggling!

[@JRLOC]

@@mikekaraoke I grew up with Bananarama but I had never seen this video.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@JRLOC How have you never seen the video-very confused! Where you from?

[@rebeccajackson2238]

Wonder where that derelict part of the Thames is. Probably filled with high rise apartments now! Also Bruno tonioli at 13.00 doing the choreography

According to an inflation calculator, £20,000 1987 today is £55+k. Give or take, kindly correct me if a different metric is available than what I found. What money's allocated in music videos during that time, I'm not aware of. But both videos of "Trick of the Night," were pure Bananarama. I remember the black & white version (saxophone without skip-beats)was shown on US television back in 87. It was beautifully shot with lots of shadowing & movemennt of irban landscape (footage from a vehicle).

Think I definitely prefer the Paul Heiney directed video to the official video

[@fionatsangarides6201]

Funny moves that they love to do I love their dance moves

[@Kamandi1971]

i am 52 always wanted show Sara my Bananarama uff lol

[@apj341]

I suspect that the three of them have seen 👀 many bunches of bananaramas 🍌 over the last four+ decades. Get in line buddy; I'm five years older than you 👍

[@jamesc7019]

Siobhan is such a better performer than S&K. Giving Jessica Lange vibes.

[@bananaramafanclub3679]

Yeah she have a better performance

[@restlessbohemian26]

Been thinking the exact same thing. It's like a beautiful artist and two cute(ish) goofballs having fun. Although . . . Sarah had the best style back in the day and was my favorite before I took a close look at the band.

[@camouflageartist8897]

Funny, how all these men call them "girls."

[@haysfordays]

Just like they called the Beatles "boys". I think it was supposed to be endearing. Ha

[@camouflageartist8897]

The Beatles were the sixties. Also the same men called all women "girls" everywhere, including workplace. @@haysfordays

[@haysfordays]

@@camouflageartist8897 I know, they didn't get the memo. However, in entertainment, it seems the term "showgirls" has lingered on.

SIOBHAN LA MEJOR SIN DUDAS ❤❤❤❤

[@fionatsangarides6201]

Sounds like the Robert denero waiting video

[@MarieD78]

You mean looks like not sounds like

@23:16 Reminds me of : "I think, like you've, like rationalizing this whole thing like into something you did on on purpose. I think we're stuck with a very, very stupid and a very, and a very dismal looking album, this is depressing."

[@triadafillos1]

A brilliant song and a quite mellow video clip in their original form, destroyed by a remix version of SAW and of this stupid video clip. I don't like it at all

[@DennySF415]

This terrible video and remix is likely why the single flopped in the UK. I don't know what they were thinking. The US version is so much better.

[@bananaramafanclub3679]

They prefer the US, LA version

[@jamesdavidkmoss]

That video is very good, too.​@bananaramafanclub3679
