Radiohead on The Ozone, BBC Two

The Ozone's reporter keeps telling Radiohead to lighten up and do something nice for the kids, a Peter Andre song perhaps.

1997 · The Ozone, BBC Two · Radiohead

BBC Two's The Ozone meets Ed O'Brien, Colin and Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway in Barcelona, where journalists from more than 20 countries had flocked to talk to the band, while Thom Yorke exercises his vocal cords elsewhere. The questions they get most are why the album is called OK Computer and whether a six-and-a-half-minute single is commercial suicide.

The “Paranoid Android” video is a cartoon because six and a half minutes of them would have been ponderous, and the song has a humorous side. Its hero, Robin, is naive and also quite a naughty boy. The reporter keeps telling them to lighten up and do something nice for the kids, Peter Andre for instance. Selway says his fan club started in Japan with a girl at their concert who was meant to be seeing Phil Collins in the next arena, and now runs to 20 people.
