Wish You Where Hear 'Tonight'
Posted by: Quad 33 on 25 May 2012
BBC Four tonight 9pm. Wish You Where Hear new documentary by John Etherington
Graham.
Who is that about then?
I'm reminded of what the bowl of petunias said, but thanks for heads up nonetheless
Or even 'Wish You Were Here'.
It's about the making of the Pink Floyd album.
Just waiting for it to start!
And I thought it was great and informative.
Richard
Most enjoyable and informative.
Poor old Syd. And of course RIP Richard Wright.
How wonderful to leave a legacy of great music to be enjoyed for generations to come. I like to ponder whether the classic Floyd albums will still be enjoyed and appreciated in 500 years time. Will they maintain the same level of popularity and reverence as the great classical composers continue to do now?
Just imagine how much music there will be to choose from In 2512. I wish I could pop back and find out.
John.
I thought that the programme was a huge waste of time and (no doubt) money, with few new insights. How many times can the same story be told?
MOJO and the BBC, and others, seem to enjoy recycling this stuff every five years or so.

I think the BBC has exhausted its archive footage or so it seems, as the late great Kevin Coyne (now why don't they do a programme on him) once sang: seen it all, seen it all before.
Or how about Zappa night ....
Or, too much to hope for, HMHB hour .....

About the same amount as they can remaster the albums
