"25 May 2025
Alan Yentob
We are very sad to hear that Alan Yentob has died. Alan was a legend in British TV, responsible for some of the BBC’s finest programmes including the documentary series, “Arena” and “Imagine”. We were lucky enough to be the subject of one of his “Imagine” documentaries broadcast last year. He was a stimulating person to spend time with and a great supporter of all artistic endeavours. We send our sincere condolences to his wife, children, friends and colleagues. Neil and Chris x"

The curse!

Nah, just age and everything that comes with it. Sadly, another legendary career has come to a close. Thank you, Mr. Yentob.

The documentary is available to watch till mid-September on French/German TV-channel Arte from today, with a French or German voice-over though. Dreamworld's available too; till the end of July.

What is the song with strings at the end ?
The voice over is atrocious. He talks as if Neil came straight from the birdcage.

I am sure you mean the sublime "Decide".A B Side that should have been at least on HotSpot.

I'm not sure. It begins at 48"

OK, this is not Decide. But what Song ist it?

[leesmapman]

Oh my, the full documentary is 1 and a half hour, the Arte edit is half that time.

It's maybe the ending strings of new london boys. It's just ruined by the beat on the full song.

Probably the same version of it that was shown on Irish tv a few weeks ago, that was an hour including ad breaks.
