Hello,
does anybody record a new tv documentary about Mark?  Unfortunately I can

[ingridswing]

Now watching, great!!

[dustyvalentino]

Truly brilliant.Best show ever made on MK and a fitting tribute to our hero.

If the programme makers are reading this, and I guess they might be, well done.

Also, it ends once and for all the suggestion that MK may be retiring.

Just finished watching!!!!!!!!! On my 4th beer, and second pack of Jammie Dodgers.
A great programme, charting Mark's history from childhood through to Get Lucky tour.
Now settling down to watch the 'Later with Jools Holland' 96 gig in London.
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic documentary!   Recognised some people in the audience at a Get Lucky concert!   I'll have to have a closer look tomorrow!
Unfortunately, the only down side was NO SULTANS on Jools, but it was a great night anyway!  Thanks BBC!

Just the sort of high quality Documentary that Mark is deserving of. Charting many aspects of his incredible journey so far. Mark is a very humouress man indeed. Yes, totally agree can anyone who thinks Mark is retiring any time soon, put that myth to bed now!  There really is not another artist in the world who is as passionate with all aspects of writing and recording music as Mark. I look forward to many more awesome years ahead.

WAAA!  it doesn't play in the US! Please, could someone upload?!

Super, super, super.  I was expecting a bunch of the same old clips and interview bits we've seen over the years... not only were there new things to see (old photos, especially!) but it was nice that the filmmakers put in some of the absolute best bits of live footage, and not the obvious choices.   Loved the way R&J from Alchemy jumpcut into R&J from the last tour... wow.  I felt old, but wow. 

My favorite moment:  "I don't think you do necessarily know which song is better than another, they're just different.  They're like people and you have to do the best thing by them, and you do the best thing by them almost like a little person.  Then they grow up, you do the best thing, they are the boss - and then they walk away from you.  When they're recorded, off they go and they have their life..."  Wow, huh?

  Sounds Great!! Not available here though! I can begin to understand the frustration Allen must have felt  over the years, with so little of what most of us take for granted, being freely available....

Part 1 is now here:

The other three parts are uploading now and should appear on YouTube over the next few hours. I'll post the links to them here later in the morning in case anyone has trouble finding them.

Also, if nobody beats me to it, I'll try to get the DVD of this uploaded somewhere tomorrow (any suggestions? dime, perhaps?). It's taken directly from the raw .mpg capture, not re-encoded.
