The movie musical occupies an interesting position in the film industry. On one hand, like action movies, its dance scenes are all about bodies in motion: dynamism, choreography. Yet, with notable exceptions such as Busby Berkeley, those responsible for putting star hoofers on-screen tended to let them strut their considerable stuff uninterrupted. It’s not to say that the camera always remained static; but you could imagine the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, or the gravity-defying Nicholas Brothers, taking it as a personal affront if they weren’t shown full screen, to fully appreciate their elegance, their athleticism.

For the previous three years I’ve been interviewing heroic ZX Spectrum figures, be they programmers, designers, artists, musicians and publishers. It’s been a blast, an amazing rollercoaster ride of privilege and enjoyment! However, I filmed a lot. A LOT. I’ve got ninety minutes just on Jim Bagley. Seventy minutes on Rick Dickinson. All the lovely people interviewed just gave and gave, with wonderful anecdotes, stories about the industry, narratives and comedy moments - enough to make ten films... After watching Jackass (sorry!) recently, I noted they created a 2.5 and 3.5 – an extension of the original film including lots of previously unseen footage. I thought, “I wonder if I should do that?” so posed the question to the Spectrum community, and was flooded by positivity and urges to “do it”. “Are you Spectrummed out?” I asked. “You can never be Spectrummed out!” came the reply! So, here I present SPECTRUM ADDICT: THE LOST TAPES.
