Quick heads up - BBC4 - Channel 116 currently showing classic performances from many of the top Motown acts.

Just tuned in Brian

The first 15 minutes was great seems to be going downhill a bit now , what next Charlene ?

Not far away by the way things are going

Think they are saving this classic till the last

At least they are live but some of the vocal performances are a bit poor

Oh no it's Boyz II Men So out of tune!

Surely there must be far better stuff in the Beeb's vaults than some of this latter crud

Well what did we expect .. It is the BBC after all... back to Poirot for my art deco fix

The early part of the show was very good, mostly 60s.

Oh Jeez, I'm sounding like an oldies fan .................. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ITV4 at 10pm - Mad Max 2 - gets 4 stars out of five in the Radio Times

Cheers

Hold on - it's Edwin with War

heeeeeeers mr hatcher!!

Edwin saves the day

Yes, just watched that Edwin Starr - War - absolutely f*ckin brilliant performance

Oh no - now it's Martha with the classic Jools Holland performance

What about Martha then ?

What about Martha then ?

A bit cabaret for my liking

Edwin was 1000% better

Oh no - now it's Martha with the classic Jools Holland performance

Shame on the BBC for including this clip. Not the way Motown should be remembered - nor martha Reeves for that matter.

Agree the first 20 minutes or so seemed very promising - the finale fell a bit flat (in more ways than one).
