Lewisham Bankrobber
The video for Bankrobber, one of The Clash's best songs, incudes a 'bank robbery' in Lewisham Town Centre - watch out for the clocktower.
Great tune...but that was one of the cheapest-looking naffest videos I can recall seeing.Watching it againnow it's even worse than I remembered it! Mind you, it brightened up TOTP at the time.
It's not a video masterpiece is it? Still ths was pre-MTV, pre-Chart Show even, so videos were primitive. And lets face it there's not much competition in terms of videos for great songs filmed in Lewisham.
