item re Keef and videos - esp "Wow"

IED:

Kate's appearance on the news magazine report about Keith "Keef" MacMillan's work, including the making of the Wow video. This brief film focuses equally on MacMillan, Kate's experience during the making of the video, and the topical subject of the rise of a then-new phenomenon: the promotional music-video. Kate predicts a great future for the laser-video-disk, before the home video-cassette market had yet taken off. Her early prediction may well prove ultimately accurate, however. This clip includes footage of MacMillan directing the "flying" special-effect which involved connecting Kate to wires and hoisting her in the air; as well as one or two brief shots of Kate rehearsing the lip-synch.

censored "Wow" video

IED:

Lip-synch for Top of the Pops. Also shown on the British Rock and Pop Awards in early 1980. Again, this is a straightforward lip-synch with choreography. Kate is again dressed in a vintage gown, but this appearance is said to have been "censored" at the point where, singing the word "Vaseline", Kate pats her hip (the camera studiously avoids the relevant choreography).
