Quick heads up. This documentary on tonight on BBC4. Well worth a view.

[James Nada]

Good shout- thanks for that.

[FinnDave]

I'm not exactly a fan of TV, but my wife tells me this will be recorded for me.

[White Cloud]

Great show.....it was shown a week or so ago on ITV. Well worth watching.

[KevB]

I'll be setting the hard disc recorder and keep it for a while. If it doesn't end up on iPlayer for some reason anyone who misses it can send me a blank DVD disk and I'll post it back with the programme on it.

[inthedoghouse]

Thanks for that!

[steantval]

Spotted it in the TV Guide.

I'll definitely be setting the recorder tonight.

Just watched it, a good programe, preceded by another good programme about Kate Bush. Nice one BBC4, made a Monday evening worthwhile.

Nice to hear the classics outside their usual wrapping. Sunshine with a Ceildh (sp?) band was pretty cool.

Stayed up and watched it last night, very good programme.

Really interesting to watch how Jack Bruce played, very much a style of his own. Great tone as well (I liked it).

Ginger Baker, unfortunately, reinforced his reputation. He seems to have a very different take on 'history'.

Same kind of thought crossed my mind....i.e. who would have thought that "Sunshine.." could sound so good with an accordion included.

I still had it recorded from when it was on a good while ago. Liked it so much I kept it.

[inthedoghouse]

Really enjoyed it, and the Kate Bush docu before it :-)

Shame to see what has become of Ginger though

[flyfisher]

Still available on iPlayer for 7 days . . .

Yep, don`t know much about him but he came across as rather a bitter person in this.

God, didn't he just? Mrs Dog said that he seems a well-balanced individual, in that he has a massive chip on both shoulders.

Yes. [i]Bitterness [/i]is the word alright. If you are interested as to just how much bitterness, check out the documentary
"Beware of Mr Baker". I think it is on You Tube.
