| Description: | London nightclub with an odd entrance: C/Us of signs reading 'Chapel at Rest' above a door and plaque with rhyme starting 'Ashes to ashes..' on a coffin; MS a couple sign in at a desk and go through a wardrobe door into London's Speakeasy Club. Various shots of people dancing to a band called 'Intro' (narrator says it's taken its name from the magazine); a girl stubs her cigarette out in a chamber pot ashtray. Cut to another chamber pot this one holding a plant, in the Intro magazine office; a girl sitting beside it inspects new shoe styles; other people there pack up work; Marge stamps a bag layout 'OK for press'. The workers meet up in London's Scotch Club to have a drink and dance; DJ David Symonds greets them; the club DJ sits playing the records in a Hansom cab. Narrator asks "Is this generation against the community, mocking our heritage? . . . Perhaps some of us are just getting old and crusty and have forgot what it's like to be young." Lots of MS / CU dancing shots, intercut with the first issue of Intro coming off the presses. | |
