The work of unbridled genius continues with [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06w6sf5 ]45 Years of Prog and Roll[/url]. 10 o clock on BBC4 tonight

If you've not seen the previous 2 series then you've missed an absolute gem that seemed to pass largely under the radar. Worth catching up in player if you can. But it'll be brilliant tonight. I wonder who they'll have doing cameo's slagging him off tonight? Apparently he'd going on Desert Island Discs. 😀

Worth it if only for Inspector Foyle dropping f-bombs!

Lucy Montgomery's accent is quite possibly the funniest thing ever.

The scene on the train with Chas and Dave. Brilliant.

Having seen Lucy Montgomery naked having 'sex' on stage at the crucible in a performance of 'Company', while I sat between my grandma and my wife on mum's annual Christmas trip to the theatre, I can never get beyond that in my mind when I see her.

And of course the drummer from Genesis was the star of The Long Good Friday. It all come full circle 🙂

Just reported on Six Music that there's a Brian Pern DVD coming out soon with 2 hrs of previously unreleased scenes, featuring a huge array of cameo appearances and swearing.

Apparently its all the same hilariously high quality, but they just couldn't fit it all in to what was broadcast on the BBC.

Theres word of a tour too

I thought he was dead.

These old rockers just can't resist one more tour can they?
