COUNTDOWN IS BACK THIS JANUARY, 2019 ... ON rage !!!!! Stay tuned below with regular Countdown full archival information for each Countdown episode rage shall be airing every Saturday throughout January ...
I have just realised that I managed to get all The Factory episode runsheets off TARA 4 years ago. I had cut and pasted them and emailed them to myself. I had forgotten that I had done that. I found them by accident when I googled my own mail looking for something else - one of the advantages of having gmail email.
I also did all the Beatbox episodes but unfortunately just copied the link which is now gone so I have lost those. I can only get partial info now. The same with Countdown Revolution.
I also have a lot of Rock Arena runsheets that I could post.
I am happy to post all The Factory runsheets here if it is OK by Jason. Let me know CJ.
I have FINALLY gone to Tara and LOVE how a whole stack of Rock Arena's are there!!!... I found a particular number of an episode I want on there which I watched way back in 1987 :-)
Yep, The Factory is cool Guru, just NO MORE Hitscene's please!!!
Love 'The Factory' as you probably know, and am looking forward to the runsheets here. . I reckon I could remember every show. The hosts were a big part of the show and they were very inexperienced at the time. Andrew was cool and very laid back. As a 13/14 year old, I liked the inexperience of the hosts and wanted Andrew's job.
I remember seeing/hearing Bananarama's 'Love, Truth and Honesty', Jason Donovan's 'Nothing Can Divide Us', and Yazz's 'Stand Up For Your Love Rights' for the first time ever on 'The Factory' . All titles I'd only previously read about in Smash Hits.
Same here Nathan, and I would record them on audio cassette and play them all week. I still have one cassette from Sept/Oct '88 with a lot of recordings from The Factory. Martha Davis in the studio singing 'Tell It To The Moon' (wish I got it on VHS tape) and stuff like 'Fallen Angel', 'Listen', 'The Rumour', 'Perfect World', 'When You Come' and so on.
That was the good thing about The Factory. You watched the rage Top 50 to get your chart fix and then The Factory, which would play a few hit singles and plenty of new releases.

Somehow, I didn't cotton on that Rage played new releases on Friday night/the wee hours of Saturday morning until probably mid-late 1992. However, as my main interest at the time was the top 50/60 (though most of the songs I liked charted in the lower region of the charts, if at all), I didn't routinely record this until the 2-4am Friday New Releases Rage episodes in mid-late '93.
So... I did indeed see a lot of new vids for the first time on The Factory, and then Countdown Revolution.
Just go to this link at Tara local and type in Factory. This is where I have been the last few days looking at Rock Arena info. Not that the fulls how details are there...

Unfortunately they changed TARA a few years ago and where you could once get full listings of episodes, you can only get a few lines now.
I copied quite a lot of Rock Arena as well - everything I could find - and emailed that to myself. This is how we got the information for The Machinations episode Rage showed a few years back and the Sharon O'Neill one that will be on this week.
I am happy to also list what I have from Rock Arena. It only includes what they had archived to TARA in late 2007 so there are many many episodes missing.
