Watched that on its second time round tonight, and I see what you mean. Clearly alcohol isn't that good a preservative after all. Good wee programme, though.
It looks so solemn on the TV.

I watched it mate .. and sat in open jawed wonder at the galloping poltroonery.

Future of British politics .. Gawd help us. The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up. :D

Went to school with Brian Robertson.
He didn't look well preserved as a teenager never mind now. :D

Hmmm. Think you might find that it isn't all down to alcohol......

This was a really enjoyable film ( probably helps if you are interested in London )

London


"Julien Temple's epic time-travelling voyage to the heart of his hometown. From musicians, writers and artists to dangerous thinkers, political radicals and above all ordinary people, this is the story of London's immigrants, its bohemians and how together they changed the city forever.

Reaching back to the dawn of film in London at the start of the 20th century, the story unfolds through film archive, voices of Londoners past and present and the flow of popular music across the century; a stream of urban consciousness, like the river which flows through its heart. It ends now, as London prepares to welcome the world to the 2012 Olympics.

A premiere showing as part of the Cultural Olympiad."
