Genesis reunite for a new BBC 2 documentary

the title of this discussion pretty much says it all. more details are found here:

Great news! Just hope something happen, five, four or three, don't matter to me, even two of them would be ok.

I think its worth putting the picture up on its own

great photo--it looks recent to me---Banks looks the least happy to be there  ---as usual.

This is excellent news, but I doubt anything musical will come from it as Peter Gabriel has stressed many times before that he has no interest in going down that road.

Even if Gabriel wouldn't re-unite with the rest of Genesis, if at least Hackett did that would be more than enough for me. I like Collins voice better anyway, and he may not be able to drum anymore (I don't know how things are going on that issue), so there would be little for him to do if Gabriel assumed lead vocals. Though there is the possibility that the new formation would include the two of them sharing lead vocals, and have Chester Thompson on drums. Though very likely nothing more will happen anyway.

They just announced this on ITV whilst playing "Invisible Touch" in the background  and also described them as "the original members of Genesis".

They can easily make a documentary featuring all 5 without them all being in the same room at the same time. Even the photos can be Photoshopped. I guess we'll find out! The photo depicted earlier in the thread does NOT look 'photoshopped' ...... Even if we get something along the lines of We Can't Dance crossed with some of Gabriel's more recent stylings, I'm sure it would be a satisfying offering for all a d sundry.......
