It's been a treat of a weekend for fans of Manic Street Preachers as they blitzkrieged mainstream television in an effort to publicise their single Some Kind Of Nothingness, released today.

As blogged about last week, the whole band appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. You can see the programme for the next few days here. The Manics appear 20 minutes and 30 seconds in.

Nicky Wire also appeared on Something For The Weekend presented by Tim Lovejoy and Louise Redknapp. He talked about their career, James' laryngitis and how doing Strictly Come Dancing fitted their ethos, from 47 minutes in.
