The Elbow TV Thread

It was Powder Blue wasn't it? Or am I going daft.

Think I'm with Honorella, MT, heard it myself on Watchdog, twas 'Red'.......

Just checked on iPlayer, and old age is getting to me, it is Red. Bloody elbow songs with bloody colours in the title, bloody confusing it is.

Not Scattered Black & Whites then?

Nope, not Black Magic Woman either.

Powder Blue popped up on a documentary about the fabulous "Being Human" on BBC3 at the weekend - to accompany a bit about a doomed relationship between 2 vampires.

Yeah saw that last night too. The lyrics go perfectly with the two character's relationship and one guy mentioned that the vampires are essentially drug addicts, i was well smug (don't really know why!)

ODLT on Restoration Revisited

Sad I know but I like good architecture. I also used to swim in the Victoria baths as a kid which won the first series.
I started watching the show and within 5 minutes thought 'It's only a matter of time before Elbow get used'. Sure enough about 40 minutes in that familiar refrain started.

Good architecture isn't sad at all.

Our local workhouse featured in that series - was it on? They're progressing well in any case and have established a nice little venue there, and the annual festival goes from strength to strength. I wonder if we could get Elbow to do a one-off small gig there, hehe...

No. Not mentioned in the programme Glendarian, but apparently the BBC Restoration website has details of all the buldings featured in the original three series.

Just heard GFD on the Hell's Kitchen final. Why does it have to end

The Abbey Road version of Grounds... soundtracking Setanta's coverage of the Conference play off semi final earlier!

The Fix, on animal planet advertising 'jockeys'

I heard at least three Elbow tracks on the Tonight programme last Friday (1st May). Can't remember which ones though. The subject matter was celebrity restaurants surviving during the recession. When each one played my girls piped up "Mum, its Elbow". They know their music and being educated (musically) well!!

GFD was just on BBC3 on an advert for a program called Blood, Sweat and Takeaways.
Yay thats the first time I've noticed an Elbow song on an advert.

Haha! I saw that as well, loved how they used that version as well

It is VERY grand that version.

Red- On BBC3-My life as an animal

Wow, BBC really love their Elbow!

I just heard the piano intro to Mirrorball in Gok's Fashion Fix!!!

Not quite on topic, but there were a few familiar faces from the Abbey Road performance on Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide To The Orchestra at the weekend. Well worth watching if you like Bill Bailey... or if you stalk members of the BBC Concert Orchestra

Red on watchdog again.

Hey I got it right this time!
