In October 1983, The Damned's guitarist Captain Sensible was primed to release his second solo album, The Power of Love.
The album was the follow-up to the previous year's Women and Captains First, a collection buoyed by the extraordinary success of Sensible's cover of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Happy Talk, an unlikely chart-topper in July 1982. So with the good Captain now an equally unlikely pop star, the BBC came to visit.
