| What kind of life ? was part of a BBC series for schools and colleges called "Television Club". In it, the band Gift are playing in a youth club, only to have a young lad, Brian, reluctantly propelled towards the stage by his friends. The band let him jump up with them, then, surprised and impressed by his singing, they offer to take him on as a vocalist. | Brian then visits the band in their cramped digs, seeing and hearing first hand just how far from glamorous their lifestyle truly is. He subsequently agonises over the choice in front of him - a stable but unremarkable 9-to-5 job as an apprentice, or the tantalising, but elusive, possibility of fame and fortune. The soundtrack featured the band-penned track Celestial Plain, later to become the B-side of their first single. |
