The episode with Kate (hosted by Eric Idle) IS out on videocassette,
but Kate's part was cut out!  On some versions there's a picture of
her on the back of the box, but as far as I know even those don't
include her performance.  They do have the scene at the very end
during the credits when everyone is on stage, and you can see her
then.

>(I don't know if this is heresy but) Kate was lip-synching on SNL?

Well, the version of "Them Heavy People" from SNL sounds very different
from any other version (the backing vocal is totally different), so
if it was lip-synced, it was too a newly recorded version.  Sounds 
unlikely to me.

>Was Kate really singing?

I don't think you've been listening closely enough to the Hammersmith
show.  It sounds different from the album versions in many places.
