Costello, who's written the theme music for the seven-part series Scully, makes guest appearances alongside Liverpool footballers Kenny Dalglish and Bruce Grobbelar. Granada TV, who've supplied the series to Channel 4, say it concerns "the humorous adventures of a 16-year-old Liverpool street urchin who's obsessed with becoming a professional footballer". The series, which begins on May 14 at 8pm, goes out for half an hour a week, with the last episode expanding to an hour. No one is saying yet whether Costello is featured in every episode. And it's not clear what part he plays. A spokesman for F-Beat Records would only comment: "It's a small part Elvis was asked to do by Alan Bleasdale who wrote the series." Elvis, meanwhile, is set to appear on Radio 1 on April 21 for the "Annie In Conversation" show with Annie Nightingale. Costello appears with Kim Wilde, and according to the BBC, finds a "great deal in common" with her. Only last week, he told the MM of a new Imposter single called "Peace In Our Time." Other media news this week: The Questions are "In Concert" on Radio 1 on April 21. A Marvin Gaye interview with Paul Gambaccini is repeated on Radio 1 with the first part going out at 4pm on April 22. Paul McCartney gives an interview to Radio Leicester on April 22. Clare Grogan co-presents a new series of Razzmatazz, starting on April 18. << >> Melody Maker, April 21, 1984 Melody Maker reports on EC writing the theme music for Scully. Images Cover.
