Yes AC it was produced for the film "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" which not only summed up their career but it is also a very real reference in these X Factor days where ahem "stars" are knocked out every year.
And that was their perception of the UK music scene some 34 years ago!
Best music related doc I have seen of late was the David Bowie doc on one of the minor BBC channels. a brief clip showed a member of Sweet in full SS uniform performing a number.
Not saying it is right but al la Saville et all we would not be troubled by it today. I understand most of the TOTP tapes are no longer broadcastable due to the alleged nonce content and as mere mortals we are no allowed to see this foootage in case we all become rerrevocably depraved.
Perhaps this is why the Wombles are no longer shown especially as the Bulgarians are coming.
Best regards
