The latter was shown on BBC2 on Dec. 27th and featured the infamous duet between Kate Bush and Rowan Atkinson where Kate sings a rude word (well almost). Kate is also glimpsed at the finale of the show for the communal rendition of 'Do they know its Xmas' led by Saint Bob himself. Unfortunately, the TV show does not feature Kate alone singing 'Breathing' - this is however on the Comic Relief video which has been available for some months (in England at least). Some people seem to think there are no decent bands in Britain, what about - The Smiths, The Fall, Age of Chance, Soup Dragons, Shop Assistants, Billy Bragg, Style Council, Jesus and Mary Chain, Half Man Half Biscuit (RIP), The Wedding Present, Cocteau Twins, The Redskins (RIP), Elvis Costello, Colourbox, Goodbye Mr McKenzie. Must be something in that lot that appeals to an American audience - not to mention Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel or Peter Hammill.
