For a finale of all things Northern might I recommend this absolute gem -
A Storyville documentary that recounts how a bunch of amateur film-makers, with nothing left to lose, tackled one of Hollywood's greatest musicals in order to save their beloved Bradford Film Club.
A proper full fat heartening documentary which will test all your emotional resolve, beautiful!

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Originally posted by seabright View PostJeremy Paxman admitted in a TV documentary a while ago that he had Parkinson's Disease but evidently he has insisted on keeping on going. I fear his slurred speech in the current UC programmes is causing the participants, and probably the TV audience too, to strain their ears so as to make out what he's saying. His replacement, Amol Rajan, has been announced, though he won't be taking over until the autumn of 2023. This means more ear-straining in the next series, thanks to Paxman's unwillingness to retire gracefully before his condition worsens. Rather a shame though, as he's been a good quiz-master.
Tonight's Harry Enfield effort, "Andrew: The Musical" on Channel 4, was impressively done but probably only as funny as I'd anticipated.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostWas it my imagination, or didn't he tell us he was retiring from it in October? I'd been wondering if the present transmssions had been recorded earlier.

Not a recommendation, but it does rather sum up where we are these days with the channel that used to have a broader view of the arts, including music? https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001gpg2
