The Television Personalities are an English group with a varying line-up. The only constant member is singer–songwriter Dan Treacy (b. 19 June 1960), who uses the band as a vehicle for his music. The band's first release (January 1978) was the single "14th Floor / Oxford Street W1", while their second, the EP ''Where's Bill Grundy Now?'' features one of their best-known songs, "Part Time Punks". The Television Personalities' first album ''...And Don't The Kids Just Love It'' was released in 1981. It set the template for their subsequent career: neo-psychedelia, an obsession with youth culture of the 1960s, a fey, slightly camp lyrical attitude, and the occasional classic pop song. Their second album ''Mummy Your Not Watching Me'' [sic] demonstrated increased psychedelic influences. Their third album, entitled ''They Could Have Been Bigger Than The Beatles'' showed Treacy's sense of humour: the TVPs were never to have any major commercial success in the UK – although their albums sold respectably in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. The first three albums featured Treacy and schoolmate Ed Ball; Ball left the band to found The Times, but rejoined in 2004. The band were offered the support slot on Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's 1984 UK solo dates, but were promptly dropped after reading out former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett's home address. It was reported in October, 2011 that Treacy is seriously ill after an operation to remove a blood clot from his brain.
