Die Television Personalities (auch abgekürzt als TV Personalities) sind eine englische Band, die sich stilistisch zwischen Pop, Punk und Psychedelia bewegt.

Die Band wurde 1976 von den Schulfreunden Dan Treacy (Gesang und Gitarre) und Ed Ball (E-Orgel, Gitarre und Schlagzeug) gegründet. Zu den wechselhaften Besetzungen in der Anfangszeit gehörten u.a. die Brüder Gerard (Bass) und John Bennett (Schlagzeug), sowie Joe Foster (Bass). Beeinflusst von 60s-Bands wie The Who, The Beatles, The Small Faces und den frühen Pink Floyd schufen sich die TV Personalities ihren eigenen musikalischen Stil zwischen Pop, Punk und Psychedelic.

Die Gruppe debütierte mit der flotten Pop-Punk Single „14th Floor“. Es folgte die „Where´s Bill Grundy Now?“-E.P., auf der sich die Gruppe über Wochendenpunks lustig machte („Part Time Punks“) und nach dem Verbleib des Talkmasters Bill Grundy fragte, der 1977 nach einem Sex Pistols Interview von der BBC gefeuert wurde.

1980 stieß Mark „Empire“ Sheppard (Drums) als festes Mitglied zur Formation. Das Trio Treacy, Ball & Sheppard veröffentlichte Anfang 1981 ihre Debüt-LP „…And Don´t The Kids Just Love It“. Auf dem Cover waren die 60s-Ikonen John Steed und Twiggy abgebildet, musikalisch gab es mal flotten Psychedelic-Pop („This Angry Silence“), aber auch ruhigere Nummern („La Grande Illusion“). Thematisch zeigte sich Treacy als Film-, Literatur- und Popkulturfan und sang u.a. über Dorian Gray sowie dem frühen Pink Floyd-Sänger Syd Barrett („I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives“).

    Great news from Patricia on Sunday - always knew Dan was a tough nut....."DANIEL UPDATE " Fantastic news Daniel is out of ITU and making great progress. Daniel has a way to go yet but at the moment all is going in the right direction. Daniel still has a Trachotomy fitted but i am getting used to lip reading untill he has some speech therapy and a change in the Tracky fitting to allow him to have a voice .This is the miracle we have all prayed for.

    Dan is making progress. Update from Patricia (Dan's sister) Sat 19 November Today Daniel managed to open one eye for nearly 10mins on and off. He is aware of people around him and is starting to move his right hand fingers when asked, it takes a lot of effort and he cant always manage it but it is a start we never thought we would see. There are however a lot of other health issues on top of everything else and as i have said before we have been told there is no guarantee as to the long term outcome as the damage he suffered from the blood clot was so serious that it was only the fantastic efforts of the Neuro Surgeons that saved "Daniels" life . PLEASE keep praying that as each day passes Daniel gets stronger. I have told him of all the love he is being sent every day. GOD BLESS you all for your kind words. Much Love Patricia XXX

    Further update from Dan's sister - 9pm August 30th..... There has been no change in Daniels condition as he is still on a ventilator and not responding to anything we must keep on praying that he opens his eyes and comes back to us all. I am with him everyday and have told him of all the love and prayers you have all sent him just incase he can hear me. We have been told it is a waiting game with no guarentees to the outcome. PLEASE KEEP PRAYING LOVE TO YOU ALL XX
