The Video Killed The Radio Star DVD will show you the secrets and ideas behind the most original and memorable music videos, at a time when the music video changed the way music was promoted and ultimately sold. By mixing the original videos with the director and artists' stories, we reveal the creative genius, production madness and general excesses from a time when music videos ruled the world. This DVD features the work of pioneering music video director, David Mallet. David directed many of the early music videos, starting his career on the iconic "Shindig" TV show in the USA. He went on to both produce and direct the BAFTA winning "Kenny Everett Video Show", discovering the talents of choreographer Arlene Phillips and her raunchy dance troop Hot Gossip. This hit show became the springboard for David to work with some of the biggest recording artists in the world, most of whom, he still works with today.
