I saw it! Pendragon were billed as a "failing business" who three young high achievers were put in to turn around. They couldn't get to grips with Nick's passion for the music over making money ("My latest tour cost £35k and brought in £25k"). They were also appalled that he didn't want to sell merchandising at a rock school concert or to charge for lessons.
Clive Nolan also appeared, but no mention was made of his numerous other income streams.
The project mentioned the antiquity of prog rock of course, but sought to market it to a younger audience, including selling Pendragon T-shirts in fashion outlets.
Enjoybale viewing in which Nick came across as a big hearted and talented guy with little business acumen. The young entrepreneurs came across on the other hand like the accountant in the Monty Python sketch when the charity collector tries to get him to buy a flag.
Good to see Nick's charming partner working hard for the band too!

I saw it, refreshing to see that not everyone is out for money and just want to do what they are best at.
