 Queen documentary BBC2 last night/tonight - Focusless
Most of the content has probably been shown before in some documentary or other, but I still found it pretty interesting and entertaining. Lots of footage of new interviews with Roger and Brian (and ex-manager, roadies etc.), as well as older ones with the others.

Part 2 is tonight; last night's first part here:

Great programme! I noted the almost total lack or input from, or about, John Deacon. Has he gone a bit reclusive?

I think he was always the quiet(er) one, but it's a shame he doesn't contribute to programmes like that. Brain and Roger cover for him pretty well though :)

This was the one they focused on in the programme:

Roger wasn't keen on releasing it because he wasn't into 'dance' music, but they did and it became their biggest selling single I think thanks largely to its popularity in the US.

Unusual, as there isn't any lead guitar at all, in fact the bass takes that spot.

Well if you're going to write a song you might as well give yourself a decent part :)
