"The Money or the Gun" was an Australian TV show hosted by Andrew Denton, a kind of nerdy genius. Every week featured a guest artist performing Stairway to Heaven done in a disparate style, cabaret, folk, beat-pop, etc.

This excercise basically relaunched the career of Rolf Harris in the UK at the time.

A few years later Denton had a prime-time show on another TV station and got Page & Plant to cover Rolf Harris:

For people in the UK, Denton is kind of "interview king" like Michael Parkinson, only younger, hipper, more empathetic and less pandering, also deeply, deeply researched.
