Re-defining the meaning of mental! Hilarious and zany comedic adventures from Jim and Graham!

He left to complete an Economics degree shortly before the band's one-and-only performance on Top of the Pops. Jim is still trying to come to terms with his disastrous decision? He played with a string of highly pretentious, obscure "New Romantic" bands in the 80s before inexplicably deciding to get a proper job as a Computer Programmer.
