1983: CAPTAIN SENSIBLE Performs for his RABBIT | Sixty Minutes | Classic Music | BBC Archive

Sixty Minutes catches up with Ray Burns, AKA Captain Sensible, one of the driving forces behind legendary punk band The Damned. He has recently scored an unlikely UK number 1 hit with a solo cover of Roger and Hammerstein's Happy Talk, and is about to release his new self-penned single I Am A Spider.

Captain Sensible lives in Croydon with his parents, his girlfriend and his pet rabbit, Rabbit. Rabbit's floppy ears are the first to hear the latest Captain Sensible compositions - the punk multi-instrumentalist tests out song ideas by performing them to the discerning lagomorph in the garden.

How do The Damned feel about his solo career?


Originally broadcast 24 October, 1983.
