Kim is interviewed by Gary Davis.

A short interview with Kim.

Laurent Voulzy does a lipsynch performance of ‘Les nuits sans Kim Wilde’, backed by his own band. The performance is interspersed with old footage from Kim performing in the programme Varietoscope in 1984.

Part of the lengthy breakfast programme TVAM, the Wide Awake Club is aimed at kids. Kim takes part in a segment called ‘WAC Snax’, in which a recipe for an ice cream/soda snack is given. Afterwards, she is briefly interviewed.

A young boy interviews Kim.

Your new single, ‘Rage to love’, it’s very rock ‘n’ roll-ish. Has your dad helped you with that at all?
Yeah, Marty wrote it with Ricky and they’ve written all the hit singles up until now, so he had quite a lot to do with it really.

How did you get started in the music world?
Um… How did I get started? Well the first record that I had was ‘Kids in America’ and that really launched the whole thing. We just did that in our spare time in a little studio near to where we lived. We weren’t thinking of any big plans.

If your family hadn’t been in the music world, would you have taken the same lines?
I don’t really know. What do your parents do?

My dad’s a cyclist and a teacher, and my mum owns a winebar.
Right, well (laughs) I really don’t know if that has any relevance to what you’re doing now and I think it’s the same with my dad, although he was in the music business where I am too. I don’t really think that there is much relevance, because I wanted to go into it a hell of a lot anyway when I was really small.

Who designs your clothes?
This is second hand. This is a second hand jacket that I’ve found, very luckily. It’s in pretty good condition, considering it’s been around for quite a few years actually.

It’s great.
Thank you.

Now then, we’ve had some questions from our viewers. There’s one from Kathy O’Mardy of Blackham in Chester. And she wants to know ‘What’s your favourite song that you’ve done’?
I think ‘Kids in America’ and the new one, ‘Rage to love’

(Video for ‘Rage to love’ starts.)

Interview with Tom Watkins of XL Design, with reactions from Kim Wilde. It’s an interview about the short-lived cooperation between XL and the Wilde camp. Kim expresses her relief at being able to “do her own thing” again.

Narrator: And there are those who’ve loved Tom Watkins, and left him. Kim Wilde used to be the jean clad girl next door, until she met Tom.
Tom: We got very excited about a Barbarella-type image, a really sort of like strong (cut)

If you’d stayed with him, what would your image be like now?
Uh… (Laughs) Well he’d have probably stripped me bare by now and I’d have my navel showing or he probably would have some thigh-clad sort of warrior-woman going down the street… I don’t know, it’s not even worth thinking about.

Tom: I think what happens is, you take somebody on, you do what they want us to do, and then they like to think that they did it on their own. Well, that’s the name of the game, we should be really hidden.

I don’t think it did any damage anywhere, I think for a while it was sort of almost quite tasteful and then kind of lost it a bit. But I’m glad I got out when I did.

Strictly speaking, this is not a Kim Wilde TV appearance. It’s Laurent Voulzy lipsynching to his single ‘Les nuits sans Kim Wilde’. Images of Kim are projected in the background.
