Wow. So many great moments in this documentary. I especially liked how chatty Chris was. I even made an appearance singing Domino Dancing.

What he does like, he loves passionately - we just don’t know what it is!
Made me laugh when Neil passed him all the vinyl albums and he said ‘well what’s all this then?’ :lol:

Not much new to add that has not been said already. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely seeing Chris laugh.

Great bit of telly that!

Goosebumps hearing New London Boy ... really am so looking forward to Nonetheless.

Loved the comment from Chris about the full stop after Behaviour. Had me laughing out loud.
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

I enjoyed every 1 hour and 29 minutes of this! Edit is done, leaving my computer on and going to sleep now.

At the end you could listen a piece of orchestral music from the new album that sounded amazingly great.

Well that was brilliant. I’m quite emotional actually.

Re Nonetheless - New London Boy sounds great as does the track just before it (was that Feel?). Then there was a bit during one of the NYC flight sequences that sounded like it might be The secret of happiness…

As someone who recently had the tape snap while rewinding an old cassette that hadn't been played in years, I was experiencing an amount of anxiety when they were scrolling through those demos.

But that seemed to me an orchestra not present in the actual record!

You mean Ricky Gervais' David Brent? Lol I like that.
It's great watching them as real persons. It's so unusual for them. Somehow this felt more unchoreographed than A life in pop.

Ughh link doesn’t play and bbc site doesn’t play in the US. Any other options to watch for those just getting home from work?
