On 27 July 1979, Television Novi Sad (TVNS) shot a Pekinška Patka special with the band performing seven numbers, playing in a display window of the NORK department store in Novi Sad surrounded by young punk rock fans in the excruciating July heat. Directed by Siniša Reljin and shot with a film camera , the special went through multiple rounds of editing before eventually getting spiked altogether by the TVNS executives (including Pero Zubac ) out of concern that some of the images in it could be interpreted as “mockery of the [Yugoslav] society”. The special would finally air on television almost 15 years later, during the 1990s, by which time the group had long disbanded.
