Saw this on BBC last week, so still on I player. What a superb documentary.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out as BBC productions seem to trickle to US cable TV at later dates.

As an aside, there is a theatre production now playing in Seattle called "A Night With Janis Joplin". Reviews for the play are mixed, but the performance of Kacee Clanton as Janis is being heralded as outstanding.  Just wondering if anyone here has seen it and could comment.

JR - just to clarify, I do not think this is a BBC production, you can buy it on the Internet. Some early footage that I had not seen before and well balanced in terms of her music and her life and times. Certainly the best documentary I have seen about Janis.
