I can't think of anyone who combined such beauty with such genius. I will always be a little in love with Kate.

Everything that was good and magical about the 70’s is present in this video. Thank you so much for this! I named my daughter after Kate 😊

I remember being 5 years old when I heard Wuthering Heights, was blown away and even then realised Kate Bush was a very unique and interesting singer and songwriter!

Kate is so adorable! Cute, shy, but super articulate and self-assured...and a unique artistic genius. She is truly a national treasure. Thanks for the music and thanks ST for reminding me of her.

Kate Bush makes me proud to be English.

She is insanely beautiful.. I can't get her out of my head lol

When songwriters were storytellers, and of course Kate is a pure genius

That Cameron person must feel special, because she actually looked at the camera and said his name and gave a good explaination as to why the fan club is running so late. So many letters back then. I wish I was thought of in 1979, but I was born in 1981 in the US, and found out about Kate in 1993, when I was 12. Saw her 'Rubberband Girl' video and was hooked.

Interviews like this, although somewhat old fashioned seem charming now. Aspen is a comforting ‘Dad’ figure but the young Kate comes across so brilliantly and as we know, she is just that, utterly brilliant!

Kate Bush here, thank you.

I fell in love with Kate after I bought Lionheart. A vision of beauty but also a master of her craft. I wasn't wrong. And after watching this interview I've fallen for Kate all over again.

I was lucky enough to see her live twice on her original kick inside tour. I was a teenager but absolutely enthralled by her and her music. A rare talent indeed but I think that in the modern era we are lucky enough to have a similarly innovative and humble talent emerging with Aurora. She reminds me of Kate Bush with her personality and originality. Her recording company turns her stuff to largely trash but her live sets are on the same level of genius as Kate Bush.

As long as i live on this planet, i won't forget (Dame) Kate Bush, appearance on Top of The pops , i was aged 11 years old,didn't know whether to cry or smile.. she touched my soul ✨, i was brought up on music all day long,mainly Soul (motown),Calypso & Reggae !! I begged my mum to buy at Woolworths 'Wuthering Heights'(she did😘)Kates voice ..so original , the rest is history! Thank you Kate ..you are the WoW factor :) ..Bless! x💚x

I remember watching this as a child….wow…great memories.

she's so lovely

one of my favorite kb interviews. she’s a natural, and was born to do all that she has done. one of the most important influence in music, and entertainment without a doubt!!!

I was 6 or 7 when I first discovered Kate. Her singing Wuthering Heights had such an impact. Only now do I realise that image of her imprinted so hard that she likely became the blueprint for what I found attractive in a woman for years to come.

Fantastic... what an absolute treasure trove the BBC has to share with us. Looking forward to seeing what they unearth. Brilliant natural relaxed interview.

Used to love Ask Aspel, and Screen Test with Michael Rodd. Great interview, Aspel was class.

Absolute treasure.

One of the last musicians to grow up on vinyl. From a young woman to a mother. You wont get this so much nowadays , which is sad. Today it about the bucks , not the notes.

Wow... Just beautiful and amazing!!! Love her immensely..

Genuine genius.

I can so clearly remember watching this at the time. The first record I ever bought was by Kate Bush. Still adore her and her music to this day.

Precious! Watched this when it was first broadcast, at 16 and a quarter years of age. Loved her music from the start, and still do. Where are all the innovative, culture shock/changing artists nowadays?? Perhaps they're there somewhere (I'm sure they are, the world is just a bigger place nowadays), I'm just not looking as hard as I used to do when the next great record was going to change our lives....? Or perhaps the changes are more subtle these days.

Beautiful.

Wow, just wow..

I remember seeing Kate singing with Peter Gabriel in 1987 … wonderful ….

Speechless.

Love this interview so much! Kate is ultra cute and sweet! 🩷

When I was in my teens I walked into my local record shop as the guitar solo at the end of Wuthering Nights was playing and bought be Kick Inside been a fan ever since. I love tracks like waking the witch the unusual songs.

What a beautiful woman. Beautiful albums too.

Wow, what a beautiful woman.

I just want to say that Kate Bush has always been one of my most treasured mentors. I am a singer and a filmmaker, Kate has been doing those things on the highest level possible, always searching for truth trough poetic expression, physical expression, humanity and fantasy. I am very grateful for the spark she has always given me. Together with Billie Holliday, P.J. Harvey (there are other too) she is one of the artists I always return to, fall all over in love with again and again. I am just so in debt to her but at the same time I am not, she is passing on the universal love trough creativity and I will simply pass on the very same flame. I am just so incredibly moved by her but also by, well, the love itself... Words defy me... Finally I wil just say that listening to her music, listening to her words and watching her video's (for which she does not get enough credit, my favorite ones are directed by Kate herself and are among the best short films I have ever seen in my life and thats coming from a bonafide movie-buff) makes me want to be be a more honest artist and even, more importantly, a better person. Sincerely.

This is brilliant, never seen it before.

I always thought of Kate Bush and David Bowie as being pioneers of a type of performance artist to accompany their boundary pushing music ....From this , I learn their common denominator is a love of Lindsey Kemp

The goddess. ❤️✨✨

Loved her on that take of "The Secret Policemans Ball" singing "Going up that hill"
