Secrets of the Bay City Rollers. 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Is anybody watching this tripe? We all know about Tam Paton's crimes, and I don't mean to minimise it, but I thought the show was about the music, not improbable sounding tales of Jimmy Savile at wild showbiz parties taking young boys into bedrooms.

Yes all rather horrid and it reeked of exaggeration and invention. After all the man is dead so why not cash in for a few quid and a bit of sympathy. I liked the Danish man who lived with him for 2 years with no hint of a problem until one day in London... Oh yeah?

Tam Paton crimes and seediness has been public domain for years if not then decades. A crooked manager in music...oh, the horror. Music is full them.

Stan Polley ripped off Badfinger. The Colonial received millions from Elvis by screwing him over.

Elvis only got a fraction in royalties (some say about $2 million. Tom Parker, made him appeared in silly movies with zero plots whilst getting a credit as an advisor or something.
Harum Scarum is nauseating and full of plot holes. Even the posthumous Elvis records were made for quick cash grabs at the time.

I think after a BCR world tour, they Rollers returned home to find huge tax bills on their mats, in which they couldn't afford. Paton, paid the Rollers with the high life but it does pay not the bills. Too much fame and being young is not always good.

Richard Coles, once said along the lines he wasted all his money in his pop days, he had too much money in one go.

Woody is doing ok with his young backing band with tours.

ITV were gutless to have you on there properly JK. They airbrushed a lot of Derek Longmuir, he might be in to dodgy porn but he could of be set up by a fan like his son said. However neither story adds up to me.

Always respect true, not fake, victims.

Not so called 'victims' of fake media made useful 'Demon Pedos' - DOH!

Biased fake media dishonestly ignores decades of amused-not-abused underage young fans 'Adultophiles'. Chasing, grabbing, groping, grooming, laying, 'Plaster Casting' adult Pop/Rock Stars - unfit for 'mock-shock' fake media headlines?

The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University has acquired an historic collection of artwork, memorabilia and personal effects from renowned artist Cynthia Albritton. Also known as 'Cynthia Plaster Caster' who became famous for creating plaster casts of musicians’ erect penises. From 1968 through 2014, she cast over 70 phalluses of mostly rock and punk musicians, tour and road managers, actors, and artists, including Jimi Hendrix, Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, actor and singer Anthony Newley, and “Ivan” of the Flying Karamazov Brothers.

The story of the Rollers has been told before - on tv & in books (Les's book for instance, which was published 20-odd years ago). It's not a very edifying tale. I know Arista Records did very well out of them.

Tam Paton was 'exposed' years ago for what he was, but from what I've seen on Twitter, I was never aware of the involvement of the arch, intellectual 'former Radio 1 DJ' Nicholas Andrew Argyll Campbell or his one-time radio mentor.
Is this a new series from ITV?

Woody seems to be one who is most sane in the later years, however I wish he wouldn't use the Bay City Rollers moniker. It's him and a bunch of young men.
