As it says, film by Julien Temple on the rock guitarist Wilco Johnson. You probably know the story already.... if not I recommend a viewing......

That was the best thing I seen on tv for a long time. Loved the cinematography.

Thought I would fall asleep half way through (after 11 on a weekday is no good for me anymore), but no, I was gripped - he's a very surprising man

I found the cinematography extremely irritating and made the programme hard to watch.

I thought the same. I'd no idea about how well read he was - one cultural references after another, and as for his opting to learn ancient Icelandic when at University!
In reply to sbc_10:

Roger Daltrey came over as a good bloke too. Wilko is surprisingly erudite, I saw Feelgood countless times in the 70s and early 80s, and never suspected he was such a complex person.
What a good piece of programming!

I watched it last night. Compelling and equally disturbing.

He came over as a weirdly fantastic individual.
