It wasn't the first pop video ever made, but was certainly the most influential - the single's nine week reign at No 1 was attributed to the effectiveness of the clip. The promo video was made on 10 November 1975 at the soundstage where Queen were rehearsing for their first date in Liverpool four days later.

The band were concerned that trying to mime to the song on TV would be awkward, plus they were about to set off on a UK tour that would take them through to Christmas Eve. The clip was shot by director Bruce Gowers at Elstree studios in Borehamwood - now the home of EastEnders and Big Brother.

The famous video for Bohemian Rhapsody was shot in just four hours.He played it fourteen times in two days and was in many ways responsible for the success of the single.

The first person to play the song on the radio was Kenny Everett on Capital.

That honour goes to the epic track The Prophet’s Song an even more complex recording which clocks in at 8 minutes and 21 seconds.

Despite being just under six minutes long, Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t even the longest song on the album A Night At The Opera.
