Kate did ALL of the music for this half-hour episode!
All the B-sides for Love and Anger":  "Ken", "The Confrontation",
and "One Last Look Around the House Before We Go" are from this film.
In addition, there are a couple of other short instrumental pieces
that are unmistakably Kate, but which have never been recorded.  In
particular a lovely choral piece near the end.  Also, it's "Running
Up That Hill" that is played in the background of a bar scene.

>In an episode a few weeks later, KaTe actually had an acting role.

This was called "Les Dogs", and featured Kate as a bride in a truly
weird, but funny, surrealistic tale.  Kate doesn't actually appear until
about ten minutes go by, and she doesn't say anything for another ten
minutes.  Actually, she doesn't have many lines at all.  But she looks
more stunningly beautiful than I've ever seen her!

Yes, they've been coverted to NTSC quite a while ago.  How else could
I have obtained copies? :-)  As for copies -- well, I'm sure this
will start a deluge of requests, so I'll tell you what:  If you send
me a blank videotape along with self-addressed packaging capable of 
carrying it, with appropriate postage affixed to it, I'll make you 
copies.  Naturally, I want to make this as easy for myself as possible!
As a bonus, you'll get the Rapido interview from the fall of 1989 on BBC.
