Much as I'm loathe to view anything on a 'Murdoch' channel, Sky Arts showed an edited version of this a few weeks back. Was called 'Anarchy In Manchester' and the talk over by John Cooper Clarke was to die for. The laconic and sarcastic delivery, the descriptions and that classic JCC sneer had us howling. Was hoping it was gonna be a series, but never saw any more on the listings (or maybe I just missed em!).
Oh, duh! this answers my question...catch the trailer here. Weird though, I recorded this end of October or something. Musta been a timeshift.

Edit, this looks like it may be an interesting listen (in a cheesy 80's pop way). Quite a few 'artistes' I've never heard of trying to do the 'pop' thang. (I imagine this is the sort of stuff Cope hated back in the Tamworth Years).
