Alexei Sayle Frankie Goes to Hollywood Relax spoof

[cairnsi]

I used to own a tape with a live Alexei Sayle show which included a Frankie Goes to Hollywood Relax spoof. Anyone know what show it is from? Was it ever commercially released?

Was it ever commercially released?

Speaking as somewhat of a FGTH completist, I don't believe so.  There were several Relax parodies, of which I have at least a couple (Frankie Goes to the Bank (a.k.a. The HeeBeeGeeBees) and the truly excruciating Cyril Trotts to Bogna (who apparently is a guy called Jeff Duff)).  I haven't heard of an Alexei Sayle one, although him doing one as part of his stage show does ring vague bells.

Of course, I could be wrong, and if so I'll be right behind you in the search for it... :-)

I saw an Alexei Sayle video in a charity shop the other day for a few quid....i told myself  to remember the title but it was a long day and i forgot >_<
Anyway I just wanted to know if it was any good, the video cover had Alexei dressed up as a punk i think or a biker, he had some peircings in....anyone know what it is or if its worth getting?

The rear of Alexei Sayle's Stuff Series 1 & 2 compilation has him posing in a biker's jacket on the back, but the front just has him grinning.

Charity shop videos are ALWAYS worth buying, they usually cost less than a pint.

There is a guy called Martin Lewis, who seems to be some uber producer

I think there may be something called that, but I was thinking you meant vinyl / cassette stuff.  It's more than likely that if it was part of his stage act it might end up on a video.  I'll have to look out for that.
