Courtesy of JB, who sent me a link to this Playmobil performance of Joy Division's "Transmission" as performed on BBC2's "Something Else".

Very funny - especially the inclusion of the Introduction. I also like the attention to detail such as the "Unknown Pleasures" poster on the studio wall. People often mistake Joy Division as dour and "joyless", but they had a wicked Mancunian sense of humour and no doubt would appreciate this portroyal.

Hey wharf99, glad you enjoyed it. My bro used to have a bootleg video with the actual performance. Looks to be shot by shot. Love the depiction of Stephen Morris's drumming.
