Watched it! Found it rather entertaining but did not learn much from it.

Of course, it concentrated on music I have no interest in.

The program is online now:

True, there was little about music I have an interest in either (though it was interesting to see that in the opening sequences of the camera going over those record racks, a Louis Jordan LP was clearly seen, and the same LP appeared in another scene - LPs in record crates - again later).

But collectors being alike anyway, there were lots of sentiments that I could sympathize with, and being acquainted with several dJs and doing a DJ job very occasionally myself, I can also confirm what the DJs said about the hard top grasp attraction of handling vinyl instead of just pushing the music through computers.
