The Humax is set and ready. Thanks for the tip-off. I first saw the Smiths in November 1983, at the start of their career that saw them become the best band ever.

Just watched it tonight on iPlayer - that was a great half hour of reminiscing! Thanks for the tip. Culture Show / BBC4 have some really great music shows and features on from time to time.

Absolutely - they should never reform. Better to be remembered (and loved) for a great body of work than reform as a bunch of clapped out old geezers out for the money by trying to re-live past glories and inevitably failing.

To Mark the 30th anniversary Liz kershaw on 6 Music presents a 30 minute special show from Salford, incase you missed it its here, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p018xmw3
To add to the Smiths reforming, I cant see that happening given the disputes and court cases over the last few years. I suspect Morisey and Marr dont need the cash to fund retirement.
