"Running Up That Hill"

Lip-synch from the German TV programme Show Vor Acht (The Before Eight O'Clock Show) August 30, 1985.
One of six European/English lip-synch performances of this song, none of which is particularly remarkable. Kate's conception for the onstage version of this song was apparently that it should be performed as simply as possible, and with a minimum of choreographed movement. Most of these videos begin with a shot of the drumskin, and the drummer tapping out the familiar march-tattoo of the song. There are no props used for these performances, although Kate's movements occasionally recall the "oratorical" stance which she used in the Wogan Show lip-synch, in which she actually stood behind a podium, a la Killing Joke's Eighties video, which Kate might have been deliberately quoting (she has twice mentioned that song as among her favourites of recent years).

interview

IED:

Kate is interviewed and videos are shown on the French TV programme, September 1985. A typically constrained interview for this period, with more or less stock questions and replies. This interview was conducted in English, but was broadcast with the questions dubbed in afterward in French and Kate's replies left intact but given French subtitles.

interview

IED:

A brief interview on the Dutch (N.B.: not the Australian show of the same name) TV programme, fall 1985. Kate is on her guard, vague in her answers and even a little prickly. She does mention that she would enjoy working with Bryan Ferry, but otherwise pretty much keeps her own counsel.

Lip-synch (called the "Paddy" version); from the French TV programme Demain c'est Dimanche; September 1985. One of several more or less identical and rather uninspired lip-synch performances of this song which Kate made on UK and European television in the fall of 1985.
