This is a taste of "No Heroics", a comedy that starts on ITV 2 on September 18th. It's about four off-duty superheroes. Drew Pearce, who created it, says it's also "a love letter to drinking in Soho." That's why he wanted "glam-pop-psych" on the soundtrack. He enquired about using a T. Rex tune. "They wanted £75,000, which is half of the show's budget."

So he went, like lots of producers before him, to DeWolfe Music, a company that's been knocking out music for films and telly for decades. They had an ancient reel to reel tape labelled "Electric Banana". This is one of the aliases of The Pretty Things, who made a bit of pin money in the late 60s pumping out psychedelia-by-the-yard for De Wolfe to sell to the producers of exploitation films.

Drew wants to hear from anyone who knows more about the career of the Banana and wants to persuade a record company to reissue some of the music. If you can help on either score contact him at drewpearce [at] gmail [dot] com. And watch the show.
