BBC4, Fri 5th Sep - 'Manchester Night'

A trio of programmes about the Manc music scene, two are repeats but the first looks interesting.

2100 - 2200

They Came From Manchester: The Story Of Mancunian Pop - featuring performances from Freddie & The Dreamers and The Hollies through Joy Division, The Fall, Buzzcocks and The Smiths to Oasis, Doves and beyond.

2200 - 2250

Rock Family Trees - And God Created Manchester (mostly about Factory, with the odd mention of Buzzcocks and The Smiths)

2250 - 0020

Factory: Manchester From Joy Division to Happy Mondays (there might be someone who hasn't seen it yet...)

Actually, i havent seen it.

I muight lift my new order boycott and watch it. Although saying that, I might just play on my XBOX instead.

It's actually worth watching. Tony Wilson is amusing.

can't be that much of a new order boycott.... you spend most of your time on this forum.

It's like Geoff Boycott Al :)

There was a prog on BBC4 about Liverpool music the other night. Needless to say I fell asleep.

I cant see what this is gonna add though, there have already been countless docs on factory/madchester and two films. Time for something new.
