Good call, Snowie! I'll try and be in for this, but I'm more likely to be in a ditch somewhere, as is normal for a Saturday. Do you happen to know if the show can be listened to via the BBc website ...after the event?? ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Anderson from Jethro Tull; Rod Argent from The Zombies and Argent;
Fish, ex-Marillion, Heather Findlay from Andy, you'll just have to get out of the ditch a bit earlier, you p*sshead. I may have to reconsider going for a beer and curry with you now.  |

If I get someone to call me at 10.00pm and order me a taxi to pick me up from the ditch it'll be fine. The local taxi company are used to 'Father Jacks' Saturday routine! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Heather Findlay has just cited Curved Air as the only female fronted prog rock from the glory days. How could she forget Rennaisance!? Dont agree with comments Ian Anderson is making either; about prog being neither good or bad. He seemed to state this as fact, rather than expressing an opinion. Hah! What does he know!

Just listened to this. Let's remember this is a short mainstream BBC
documentary, so it was bound to be brief and ocassionally mis-informed.
Look at it this way: IT WAS A 30 MINUTE RE-EVALUATION OF PROGRESSIVE
ROCK BROADCAST INTERNATIONALLY. In my opinion, that's something worth celebrating. |

Oh, I agree. Any mention of prog in the mainstream has to be worth sdomething. I really thought this was going to be on late at night, not on a saturday morning. Being on Prog Archives has made me a terrible pedant, who believes he knows better than the bands themselves! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

This was a very negative program I felt and only 30 minutes too. The tunes they played briefly were not exactly great examples, I am not sure what one of them was either, what was the music played after the mention of David Bowie? It wasn't Bowie! This was a complete waste of time for me and it really hasn't helped and to put it on on April 1st really didn't help either. The BBC are evil! I did see The Mystery Jets on BBC 3 though, they weren't as bad as I thought! -------------
