Television TV

Neat and Tidy

There was a TV programme on C4 in the late 80s either before or after 'The Chart Show' every friday night called 'Neat and Tidy' The characters were called Nick Neat and Tina Tidy and the title music was Guitar man by Elvis. The programme was totally mad and it was about the two characters who were totally unsuited to each other fleeing their respective pursuers Nicks were Hells Angels and Tina were Dominatrix like Convent Nuns!!! No one can remember this apart from me so please tell me that it was real and not a strange teenage fantasy of mine!!!!

    Of all my mates I'm the only 1 that remembers this series, I've been banging on about it for years, now, my best mate has just handed me an original VHS ex rental copy from an store in Oregon and a disc with all of the episodes copied onto it!!!! It's still as bad/awesome as I remember it.

    Simon, I went looking for this because a guitarist I knew called Steve Waller did the 'incidental music' for this. He said it was the easiest thing he'd done for years. Because they sat him in a room with his guitar - he played a lot of slide -and he'd just do stuff to fit in with the action. He said it played in the States, but he didn't think it had played in the UK. Apparently it never got much past the pilot stage. I've checked it our a number of times and it's kinda cool to know that it really did exist! From the way you describe it, it sounds great!!
