I was never a big fan of 'Comic Strip Presents....'!!!!

Not even the Bad News Tour?
Vim: Right, er, about what you were saying before... It's a valid question, I mean, don't get me wrong, but... I think you're really starting out from the wrong point of view, 'cause we're not basically a heavy metal band. We're a bit more subtle than that. Aren't we, Colin?
Colin: What?
Vim: We're a bit more subtle than that.
Colin: Yeah, we're subtle, but er... basically we're heavy metal, aren't we?
Spider: Yeah, Colin's right, Vim. If we made a record it'd be so heavy you couldn't get it off the turntable!
Tracy laughs.
Vim: Yeah, I know that, I know, but I mean... what I'm saying is we're just not simple heavy metal, you know.
(the conversation continues for a couple of minutes in the same vogue)
Colin: Well, it's obvious. What's wrong with being a heavy metal band, anyway?
Den: Yeah!
Colin: It was you who put "heavy metal" in the advert, that's why I joined.
Den: Yeah, me too!
Vim: Yeah, I know, I know, I know I did, but... but things change, don't they? I mean, when I was a kid, I used to play John Denver numbers all the time (Tracy laughs) but that doesn't mean that I have to be a prat all my life, does it?
Spider: You said it, Vim. Hey, listen, we could call ourselves Heavy Denver!
Tracy: (laughs loudly) That's really funny, Spider! (Continues laughing.)
Vim: Tell her to shut up or get out, Spider!
Spider: (to Tracy) Shut up or get out.
Caption: "One and a half hours later..."
Vim: Look! Look, we are not just another stupid heavy metal band!
Thoughtful pause.
Colin: What about "futuristic heavy metal"?
Vim: But we're more modern than futuristic, aren't we?
Spider: I know! What about "heavy metal glitterbillyomantic"?
Tracy: Ha ha! Yeah!..... Sorry, I forgot.
Den pulls the van over into a lay-by.
Vim: What're you doing, Den?
Den: Right, that's it. (Opens door) I'm getting out here if we're anything to do with the New Romantics. (He gets out of the van.)
Cut to Den standing on the grass verge at the side of the road, smoking a cigarette. The others get out of the van and walk over to him.
Vim: (voice-over) One of the things about being a leader, right, is that you've got to sort out arguments that come up between people in the group. You've got to be fair, and you've got to make sure your own ego doesn't get in the way.
Colin: Come on Den, it was... it was only a joke.
Den: I don't care! I don't care if it was a joke or not.
Colin: (to Spider) Tell him.
Spider: It was a joke!
Den: I'm not going any further until I hear Alan say that... that we're heavy metal.
Colin and Spider look expectantly at Vim.
Spider: Go on, tell him, then.
Vim: Okay, okay, we're heavy metal, okay? Heavy metal, heavy metal, HEAVY METAL! Have I said it enough? We're HEAVY METAL, OK? Just like your fucking brain!
