For anyone who's interested. Only half an hour sadly, so it seems we're going to get little to no depth, but it could still be interesting.

    The really should re show the south bank show special. Cant stand the band, but it was a very good documentary.

    Rourke or Joyce never mentioned once. But I guess if you're looking at it from a cultural perspective they were just 'part of the band'.

    Well they never did much to contribute other than playing the genius of them lay with Marr and Morrissey and when discovering them a few years ago they were not my main focal or starting point which i feel is the same for many :) Plus i think that whole legal debacle has somewhat tainted them for some people.

    Yeah was thinking it might be something to do with the whole suing thing. Definitely didn't come off well. Moz and Marr were the life and soul of the band for sure.
