Just a quick question about the video; which is my favorite, by the way....
Is that Martin Hannett that is standing behind Barney towards the finale of the video? I found out from 24HPP that Hannett was a rather "large" guy and the guy behind Barney looked a little large...
Is that him?
If I remember right, it's Arthur Baker, isn't it? 
Seriously I don't remember, and it might not be Mr Baker, but in 1985 he was all around the band..
According to our mate Jonathan Scott at TLV's website, it's Slim.
Q: Who are all the people in the Perfect Kiss video?A: [Jonathan Scott] "Other than the 4 members of the band - the first guy you see behind the glass partition is 'Slim' one of the bands roadies. (NOT Arthur Baker as stated elsewhere) It was 'Slim' who appeared as Divine at the Brixton gig when the band did 'Love Reaction'. Shadow number 2 is Andy Robinson. Andy is now part of the bands management team along with Rebecca Boulton following the death of Rob Gretton. I have often seen Andy on stage with the band 'sorting stuff out' but I'm not too sure what his role would have been back then."

yowza!
I'm sure it's Arthur Baker, he's a heavy set guy as well, and Martin Hannett had nothing to do with newOrder by this time.
