Got to give it to BBC4 - they've got a good handle on music culture for us oldies.  Loved the Status Quo one last night (except for the very end where it looked like Alan Lancaster and John Coughlan had been raised from the dead specifically for that one track).  In fact  Lancaster looked like he was scared Rossi would hit him!

Never did see  Quo live Sad.  My mate tells me the balcony at Hammersmith odeon would deflect a few inches due to fans bouncing in time to Rockin All Over The World.

Was Alan Lancaster the funny bloke who used to sit on Roger de Coursey's knee?

I only caught that one track last night while in a quiz.
I was alerted with only 4 minutes of the programme left. 
AL did look rough.
Saw them on TOTP afterwards doing Pictures Of Matchstick Men.
If I didn't know better I'd say Rick was wearing a syrup.
They looked facking terrible back then.
My car CD player hold 6 discs and 'Piledriver' has been permanently in there, with a mixture of 5 others, for about 10 years.

I saw a couple from Status Crow being interviewed once.
One of them proudly showed off the missing join between his nostrils which had been eaten away from years of snorting drugs. 

He was an ugly looking bugger anyway.
I though ''I hope he has had a good time getting to look that bad.''
Deaf as a post by now as well I'll bet.

Don't really like Status Quo, but enjoyed the documentary.

The two 'returners' at the end in the rehearsal studio looked scared sh1tless

Can't believe I didn't know this was on.
Hopefully they'll have it on the iPlayer

I saw the programme when it was first shown last November.

It's very good indeed - and I'm not a Quo fan.

For anyone who wants to watch it, you can catch up with it here:

no fan of Quo but this was great - BBC4's music docs really are exceptional : the greatest tribute being that they can make interesting programmes out of subject matter you are not interested in.
