Was hoping this programme could have been half decent (the recent Bee Gee's similar themed show threw up some rare footage)
but what was very annoying was the inclusion of familiar footage in some of the poorest reproduction I have seen this side
of Vintage TV (A genunine missed opportunity killed by low bandwidth and woeful "home made" video recreation)
The Queen show made the footage look even worse as it was interspersed with HD recorded interviews.
The Tribute concert clip was truly appalling quality - particularly as this show has been repeated on the Sky Arts channel
several times in excellent quality.
Surely the numbty who is responsible could buy the Queen DVD's and copy the clips from there rather than what looked like online video grabs.
In the credits it lists an "Online Editor" could this be the person responsible ?
Or the Producer/Director www.imdb.com/name/nm4432487/
The same man who put together "Raiders of the lost Archive"
Whatever happened to the unscreened shows there ?
I know Chris Perry and Simon Coward were involved in that show - A shame it was shelved mid series.
