Check it Out was a youth-oriented television series produced twice weekly by Tyne Tees Television for ITV from 1979 to 1982. It presented a mix of rock music performances and segments dealing with social issues including homelessness and homosexuality. The show was notorious for an appearance by the band Public Image Limited, in which John Lydon became angry at the interviewer's questions and walked out of the studio.
