"Play At Home" was a program that featured acts performing live in their hometowns. XTC was the most costly production (instead of setting up a camera and playing live they produced five music videos). For any XTC fan this is amazing. The videos are all good and it even includes an acoustic version of a then unreleased song (a superior version of "Train Running Low On Soul Coal" which would not see release for another fifteen months) performed by Dave and Andy. It features interviews of the band in Pegs's Pantry (a now defunct café in Swindon) and individually as the band discusses their hobbies (Daves' is home recording, Colins' is fresh-water fishing, Andys' is making board games). It shows the band as they had just finished recording Mummer and a surprisingly non-so-timid Andy considering he had just had a nervous breakdown. Great program!
