God, really miss tv like this. Just mucking about, havin' a laugh and playing some great tunes in between. Before MTV this was the channel I used to watch daily.

I look back to "Fun Factory" with Pat Sharp into the 90s, but its not the same. The time 1985-89 was "The Gold Time" for me with Sky Channel with Sharp, Davies, Linda de Mol, Ronnie the Runner etc. What a time!!!!

@Aaronation1984 Yes, there's more. Maybe I'll upload some more clips over the next weeks or so.

Hail! I have a question for everyone, who liked sky channel in the 80's: do you know what was the tune of the UK Top 40 (around 87-88)? I remember that has a painted opening, and had a great, loud guitar oriented istrumental song. Anyone knows the name of that track?

[@Underdraft1827]

Thanks for the upload. Do you have any from the period when Pat Sharp was host? I seem to remember in later years Ronnie having to go outside the building and into a sort of shed full of videocassettes (which didn't happen on this clip unfortunately)

[@troublebrewing2121]

@croconmedia No he wasn't, Grim was Dave in VT :)

[@victoriaharbach5968]
