quote by richard Jobson, frontman with Scottish punk band The Skids, taken from the beginning of the live version of the song TV stars.in the extended quote (see below) jobson refers to albert tatlock, a fictional character on the British soap opera Coronation Street, played by jack howarth. The character became something of an institution, so much so that grumpy old men were sometimes nicknamed "Albert Tatlock".the skids had a string of hits in a 2 year period from 1979 to 1981, the biggest song being the top 10 hit 'Into The Valley' in 1979. The band was formed by Jobson and his friend, Stuart Adamson, who later formed the band Big Country. After Adamson departed the band, The Skids commercially declined and disbanded in 1982. Shortly after, Jobson formed the short-lived band The Armoury Show and although not a commercial success, were critically acclaimed by the music press. This was to be Jobson's last foray as a musician as he turned his attention to modelling for a few years and once claimed he was the highest male earner in the industry.
