Villa Tempo was a youth music programme which ran on BRT from 1984 to 1987.

Benny, Björn and Tim Rice recorded a small, amusing trailer introducing themselves for Villa Tempo which was shown before the main programme titles.

The interviewer was Bart Peeters.

Running order of the show:

1. The Nits - interview followed by performance of Mask
2. Segment of movie Streets of Fire
3. Talking Heads – Once in a Lifetime
4. De Hermannen – Pukkels
5. The Lords of the New Church interview and song M-style
6. Segment of movie Jesus Christ Superstar
7. Benny, Björn and Tim were interviewed by Bart Peeters in English about Chess and various video clips were shown including The Day Before You Came, Jesus Christ Superstar (one of Tim's most famous musicals), The Prisoner (by Elaine Paige) from AVRO PlatenGala and One Night In Bangkok.
8. Huey Lewis & The News - It’s all Right

It's likely that this was filmed backstage at AVRO PlatenGala while Benny, Björn and Tim were there by a Belgian film crew who had travelled to Rotterdam.
