The bbc having been churning out quite a lot of these band docs recently. i hate them, they try so hard to make everything into a story, the rise, the fall and then look they are back on their feet again format. also all those stupid zooming in on black and white photos and missing the point and context of everything...
It's cool as fuck to see a band so great get attention like that, but can you really see anybody checking them out for the first time after watching it? There was so many quick clips of songs there wasn't much to stick in someones memory. But still, while it falls victim to as someone mentioned the usual fall journo crap, it was still interesting and enjoyable enough to see the footage and the interview with mark. Made me stick on "the classical" afterwards, couldn't fit the urge to thrash about to that song.
