Squeeze:

Going to watch the Squeeze one tonight. It's should stay on BBC iPlayer a few more days at least.

The Jeff Lynne one will probably drop off any day now. Watched it last night. It was pretty good, but then I like ELO. If you're a Beatles fan then there is 5-10 mins about the 'Free as a Bird' single he produced with contributions from living Beatles and George's wife & son. Sounds like it was really difficult to make anything of that Lennon demo tape.

'We do not currently support BBC iPlayer outside the United Kingdom.'

:-(

That's a shame - thanks for letting me know. It appears BBC are not allowed to by other countries, although there are VPN services to the UK that allow you to then stream, but it's not free. BBC are also looking at an international one, but I guess you have to subscribe and pay.

Saw them in '78ish with talking heads undertones and Van the Man

Is this the documentary Charlie?

Yep, that's the one.

Watching gigs in 1978! You're a bit ahead of me. What was Van like? I love his live early-70's LP 'Too Late to Stop Now' - the last couple of tracks in particular are brilliant.

Did you watch the two Stones documentaries last week? They're good:
