XTC aren't popular enough, lack of interest, idk. I remember Andy being pissy about it on Twitter earlier this year.

I think I said it on ILM before, but if the story of Graham Parker & the Rumour can end up on BBC4, I don't know why XTC can't, unless they think it isn't interesting enough - which is possible. Not sure Graham Parker's that interesting either.

I'm sure there's a lot of less popular acts than XTC have been covered by BBC4. Though I suppose there's a problem in making the story of Andy Partridge retiring from the stage to spend the next 30 years playing with toy soldiers and train sets interesting for non-fans.

Yeah, BBC 4 has showed documentaries on world music and Dolly Parton/Linda Rondstadt/Emmylou Harris' collaborations etc. recently ... I'm actually confused as to why they wouldn't show it - seems tailor made for that channel.

Any good? I have it saved on my Sky box please tell me it wasn't just a parade of semi famous heads waffling on.

some friends caught a youtube rip before it was taken down. look out for more uploads

I saw it, it was very good.
I can only imagine there's not much available in the BBC vaults to play alongside (sight and sound, ogwt, top, most of those would be stopping by 1980 or thereabouts)
