Stewart says just wait folks for the new album, its gonna be fabulous. He sounds like his talking about their 1st album Outlandos, as they are talking about now we have the name the police etc. Interview is definatly pre- Outlandos UK release date. Stewart promises that the new album will be great as they worked on it a lot instead of playing concerts. Stewart also mentioned they are flying over to the states at the end of the week. Pete started off the interview by saying that his hair and voice is simular to Klark Kent...which Stewart playfully denies! The songs played during the interview (which are not on the master tape, as the songs were inserted in between the interview, as written on the master tape box) (In order) Can't Stand Losing You, Fall Out & Dead End Job. Pete Baker confirmed to Craig that he owns the actual master reel tape, so a piece of priceless history!

Stewart Copeland (and probably Andy, too) drives from London to Manchester. He's interviewed by Piccadilly Radio and the BBC Manchester.

The Police's soundcheck at "The Old Grey Whistle Test" studio is done an hour before the live performance. Sting manages to spray metallic paint into his eyes instead of his hair. There's an eye hospital near the studio where Sting is treated. The Police play Can't Stand Losing You and Next To You with Sting wearing one of Stewart Copeland's large glasses...

After the show there's a dinner with TV and A&M people. Stewart talks to Michael Appleton. Sting catches the sleeper train to Victoria and then drives back to Brighton - arriving on the set at 7 o'clock the next morning.
