The TISM Television Primer

The TISM Television Primer is the first home video by TISM (This Is Serious Mum), released on VHS in PAL format in 1989 through the group's mail-order list. 
The video has a run time of 35 minutes and features the music videos for "Defecate on My Face" and "Saturday Night Palsy", live footage, and the band's appearance on the TV program Hey! Hey! It's Saturday. The release was followed later in the year by a second VHS, Shoddy and Poor, which featured a live show at the Palace in September 1988.
The TISM Television Primer was reissued in 1992 with new artwork and with the music video for "Let's Form a Company" added to the programme. The video has not been reissued since, although some of its contents have been included in later home video releases, and the complete video has circulated widely online, including at the Internet Archive and on YouTube.
