And I'm under house orders watching BB and although MES is a legend, I guess last BB is legendary (especially for Brian). Hope The Fall doc is repeated soon. Free Range-ah!

Saw em live 2 years ago-ah and they were brilliant-ah.

Marks crackers, but thats half the fun-ah.

I've seen the Fall more than any other band...30+ times.
I have all their albums.
I suppose I must quite like them....

MES is a complete Rumbabah loon, but I love the Fall. I couldn't explain an album to you, or say my favourite lineup but I know what MES sounds like and I love some of his supposed shit albums and some of his supposed great ones.

Am looking forward to watching this on sunday. What a treat it'll be.

EastTerrace watch it here:

Thanks ColinTat, will set the recorder for that.

Love The Fall. Wasn't too taken with the documentary though - mainly 'cos I couldn't make out a thing anyone was saying. Still, BBC4 rolls on and I might watch the whole thing again when Oil City Confidential is over, so it can't have been that bad.

Covered End

As said, repeated tonight BBC4 10.30.
