Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

The TV appearance that Nick did make was on a long-forgotten arts programme called 'Octopus' that went out in the Granada region at 6.30 on a Wednesday evening in (it is considered) March 1970. The Manchester-based series only ran for around six months and featured a musical spot filmed in the studio (Badfinger and Canned Heat also appeared on it) as well as some filmed reports. Alas, none of the video masters of this series are known to exist - possibly wiped as long ago as just a year or two after original transmission. The only chance of something turning up would be from a 'telerecording' (in-house, 16mm off the TV monitor) but that again is looking unlikely as the programme probably wasn't sold to other, outside of the UK TV stations.
