GENETIC ENGINEERING

NOTES

Video directed by Steve Barron, who was also responsible for music videos for a broad range of acts including Dire Straits, The Jam, The Human League, Tears for Fears and a-ha (Barron directed the legendary 'Take On Me' video).

For authenticity, the video features a stack of genetics related books, some of which Andy later "borrowed" to read. "Not my favourite video" according to Andy, although it still featured a "couple of interesting moments, with Mally and Martin as the Kray brothers!".

 

TRIVIA

The Rolls Royce used in the video was actually owned by comedian Mel Smith.

The girl in the video was played by Joann Kenny who also had roles in Grange Hill, Doctor Who and The Bill. She sadly passed away in 2010.
