I doubt very much that this (nice) documentary is from 1988. The album was released in March 1990, and the clip uses some of the already recorded and mixed album stuff. "Missing... presumed having a good time" is said to be recorded in 1989/1990, but the finished album tracks are probably from the very end of this recording period.

Thank you so much for this video!     I remember seeing this interview on TV - it was an extract from a programme called "Rapido".  The presenter of the programme was Antoine de Caunes and Tracey MacLeod was the interviewer.   I'm pretty sure it was March 1989.   

I have been searching for years to find the whole programme on YouTube, but to no avail! I hope it exists somewhere, because it made a great impression on me at the time - so did MK!     

[JF]

Yes it is from Rapido, broadcasted on french TV cannel "canal +".
I remember well wacthing this documentary  with Mark and Brendan  playing on national together, and Marks talking about songs like "set me up"
but I didn't remember exactly the date it was boradcasted.
I can't recall if it was before or after the album release.

As Val said, march 1989 could be true.

I remember this vividly. Love how he noodles away at the end of "that's where I belong"

Thanks a lot Shangri-La for making AMIT-TV possible. I was working all night and having our own TV-station on. Finally some time to listen to it.

  Thanks Ingrid. It warms my heart to know that the channel gives people pleasure. As I said earlier to Vgonis & this applies to JF also, If just one person finds pleasure from the channel then I'm happy!!!

I, also hope that it helps to attract a wider audience to Mark

Hi Love Expresso, Superval & JF thanks to you all, for the feedback re the 'Notting Hillbillies - 'Celebration' TV short documentary 1988', video.
We are now able to publish a more accurate time for when this video was aired on TV. There is a split consensus from several different sites on the web, some still claiming it was Thursday, 14 April 1988 (maybe due to Brendan

[superval99]

I have dug out my copy of Myles Palmer's unauthorized biograpy of Mark Knopfler and in the section for The Notting Hillbillies, it has the Rapido programme in question as being on BBC2, Wednesday 7th March 1990  - so I was a year out in my estimation.   It followed a programme, "Rock Steady" the previous evening, 6th March 1990 on Channel 4 which was televised on Tuesdays. 

[JF]

Yes indeed I meant 1990, but I repeated "mechanically" the year provided By Val
