Turn on the TV today, though, and you'll find videos for our music everywhere. We call them commercials. The Smiths' melancholy anthem How Soon Is Now? sells Nissan sedans; the Buzz-cocks' acid What Do I Get? shills Toyotas; Devo's arch Beautiful World pitches for Target. Mercedes even uses the Violent Femmes' ultra-obscure It's Gonna Rain in a spot for a convertible, though more people may have bought DeLoreans than listened to this song in its first life...

The fathers of Sanford and son are Steptoe and son, on the BBC series of the same name, a pair of cockney rag and bone men who batter themselves and each other relentlessly against a dead end of life. Both Yorkin and Lear adaptations follow the same recipe: take one BBC show, add the milk of human kindness and stir for 30 minutes.
