Adam Buxton’s BUG – Radiohead

Essentially any Radiohead fan’s dream, BUG featured a comprehensive rundown of the group’s most innovative videos on an enormous screen, some little-seen rarities and refreshingly indiscreet comments and stories from Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich all anchored by Adam Buxton. Buxton served as more than just a host; his reading out of YouTube comments in silly voices had no right to be as funny as it was and no-one in the packed Dome will ever forget the Brad Pitt ‘Creep’ parody. At two and a half hours, it could have used an interval but this hardly marred such a unique event.
