J.A.W. Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 I would love to watch this documentary, sad no bbc 4 here in Germany. Does anybody know if it is available as an internet stream at bbc or any other chance to watch this ? It's on the iPlayer on bbc.co.uk - not sure if it's available to non-Uk users however. Give it a try, go to the TV link on the website, then to the BBC4 schedule. The BBC iPlayer is "U.K. only" - something to do with rights. Quote
JohnS Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 Agree on the 'Baroness'. Excellent informative programe with some nice visuals. Really enjoyed the Blakey set. There can't be that many good quality examples of John Gilmore on film. Saw this band live during their tour of the UK. It was my first aquaintance with both Gilmore and Hicks. Still have Monk to watch. Quote

sidewinder Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 The Baldry and Mayall documentaries are quite good. Again. a fair bit of vintage BBC film footage. Quote
