Voiced by regular host, Adam Buxton, the exclusive programmes are a digest of some of the videos shown on the big screen, shown in full with additional behind-the-scenes footage and images, and accompanied by the uniquely hilarious commentary that BUG audiences have come to expect from Buxton, a knowledgeable enthusiast of the medium.
Offered exclusively as free-to-view content on the BFI Player, fans of music video can now enjoy the gems that the BUG team unearths in the comfort of their own home.
