Loose Talk was a short lived Channel 4 music/arts and chat show that ran for two series in 1983. It was recorded in front of a live audience at the Albany theatre in Deptford. Generally critically panned at the time it did bring a range of interesting people to touch down in SE8 with guests including Fun Boy Three, Roy Ayers, Robert Wyatt, Elvis Costello, Peter Blake, Fab 5 Freddy, Carmel and Tom Waits. Perhaps most notably it featured what I believe was the first TV appearance of Sade Adu in an episode that also included Grace Jones and Peter Capaldi.
You can find various clips and even whole shows online, a lot of it quite cringe to watch now!
