Extracted from The Old Grey Whistle Test, originally trasmitted 8 November 1980

A pair of dancers in skimpy leather outfits and brandishing whips enter through a passageway into the main ballroom, where Frankie Goes to Hollywood, similarly dressed in leather gear begin to perform 'Relax'. The band are then interviewed by presenter Jools Holland, who comments on their sound and performance. The band, led by singer Holly Johnson, express their hopes of getting a record deal on the back of their exposure.
