Excellent! Never seen a documentary on them but I've heard documentaries on the radio about them.

Can't wait Channel 4 docs are usually very good.

Does anyone know if the documentary will be 1 hour total or 1 hour with commercial breaks?

BobbyO.

p.s any links for yesterdays leaks would be much appreciated.

This documentary is going to be released on DVD, isn`t it? I seem to recall it being mentioned in the dim and distant past.

my hopes aren't high; what was the last decent thing that the psb had on tv? the south bank show, despite being a profile, didn't really feature them that much and was more about neil; the andi peters thing they did around 'very' was slightly better, but not by much. in fact the only programme about the boys that stands out for me was an old thing on bbc2, ' that was then, this is now', which as i recall even had some home footage of neil in the studio recording the vocals to 'suburbia'. other than that, its all been rather poor. the fact that the c4 thing will be released on dvd only lowers my expectations.

however, if they tie chris to a chair, and make him answer questions at length, revealing himself to be the true genuis behind the psb, then i'll pleasantly surprised.

The MTV europe documentary from '94 was pretty good. Can't remember what is was called. Have it on video...

Well, minus the commercial breaks we'll probably get about 45 minutes of PSB, which won't be much time to cover 20 years.
