THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS: Liberty X make their first non-pervoid video, and promptly get shouted at for encouraging kids to play on railways. The new video shows them mooching about on railway tracks, although, unlike 'Robbie*', they don't get their legs cut off by the points and have to spend the rest of their lives staring mournfully at the football boots hanging on the back of their bedroom doors.

* - A bloke from British Rail would routinely tour round schools in the 1970s and show this short in assembly (doubled up with something by Peter Purves showing trains zipping about all over the place - the zipping, rather than the Purves, being what dates this, of course) in a bid to put kids off the idea of larking about on the railways. It also managed to scare them off of ever going anywhere near a railway, ever, and probably accounts for the decline of locomotive travel in the United Kinfgdom single-handedly.
