Just caught the news that Benjamin Zephaniah is to be profiled in an up and coming documentary but missed the date and time. Gone through the listings but can't see anything. If anyone has details, please post up.

Thanks PU - will look out for that I'm currently watching Cold War Steve Meets The Outside Worldwhich also features Benjamin Zephaniah too (albeit fairly briefly) A documentary following Birmingham-based artist Christopher Spencer (aka CWS), known for his satirical collages, as he takes a number of giant outdoor displays across the UK.
It's coming up again on Sky Arts and it worth a look, especially if you like Cold War Steve ![](https://images.radiotimes.com/remote/images.atlas.metabroadcast.com/pressassociation.com/webANXColdWarSteve.jpg?quality=60&mode=crop&width=700&height=422)

Found it. Benjamin Zephaniah Sunday 6th December, 10.45 PM Thanks PU - looking forward to it I've now almost finished Cold War Steve (see above) and I recommend it He's an interesting person and his rage at the fuckwits currently running the show is transmuted into great art (and TV)

Sky Arts next Thursday (28 January) 1320 - 1415 - “Trailblazers: Pub Rock”
A fascinating musical journey examining the development of the back-to-basics movement that emerged in the south of England in the 1970s.

Hang on Lord E, the tv guides are showing Trailblazers Pub Rock on at 1.20 in the morning not the afternoon. Set the recorder.

Who's the little chap next to Dury? I was wondering the same thing There was an interesting looking thing about 80s Scots indie bands on last night called Teenage Superstar. Yeah. I did record it but have yet to watch it. I was going to mention it as I know it's got a log of Rogue's favourite artists like The Pastels, BMX Bandits, The Soup Dragons, Teenage Fanclub, The Vaselines, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream Hang on Lord E, the tv guides are showing Trailblazers Pub Rock on at 1.20 in the morning not the afternoon. Set the recorder. Thanks PU - off to set the VHS now ![](https://biggolddreamdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/teenage-superstars-grant-mcphee-sound-of-young-scotland-documentary.jpg?w=1000)

It's pretty niche though - but fun too
Especially if you have fond memories of Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Vaselines, BMX Bandits, Shop Assistants, Soup Dragons etc

Beatles Stories.
Bordering on embarrassing fandom but this has some interesting anecdotes from a mixture of people from rock stars to Ringo's make up artist!
Some intetesting'facts'. Lennon allegedly spoke highly of Ronald Reagan around 79/80 before the'straight man to a monkey'got elected. He supposedly shared some of his views which I personally find very hard to believe.
Ringo was called 'Ringo' because of his love of rings but the least said about wee Starkey's bedroom antics the better🤣

Trailblazers Pub Rock. I managed ten minutes of that. Noddy Holder shouts his narration with added Whoos! Oh Yeah! Let's Rock!
Like something you'd get on MTV or 4 Music.
Rubbish
