I was just flicking through the IMDb when I accidentally stumbled across this page for THE BEAT . I have to admit I wasn't to surprised that no one commentated on it because the show was broadcast on the ITV network at around 1 am in the morning !
I will give THE BEAT credit for trying since it would have been very easy for the producers to shrug their shoulders and say " We'll just put out any crap since no one will be watching it " and while I wasn't too keen on presenter Gary Crowley ( Never been keen on the " Mockney " type geezers ) we were treated to live performances from artists like Deacon Blue and One Dove that looked like it was specially produced for the show ala OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST . We'd also get exclusive videos of underrated artists like The The which was welcome for this viewer who wasn't subscribing to MTV
While being far from the greatest show ever made THE BEAT kept me company on many a cold lonely late night in the mid 1990s
