I've just seen, via a tweet from John Crace, that this is on BBC2 at 9.45pm on Saturday. Apparently he's seen it, so I'm not sure if it's been on before, but sounds worth a watch.

Hasn’t been on BBC/ITV before, think it was on Sky Arts 👍

Great programme well worth a watch 😉

I watched when it came out , about 2 years ago, really good film 👍

As above, well worth watching.

Agree with all of the above.

Details were posted up in our tip top news feature at the time

Will watching again tomorrow 👍

Thanks for the tip Seano.

This wasn't just about the pain that Teddy went through, it was also a reminder of the dangers of making music in those halcyon days.

Enjoy your vinyl people but don't forget the pain.

That was awesome. Music in the real world . Teddy was certainly up there with the best male vocalists and what a way / tribute to end the documentary with his band and backing singers reforming. Very special and moving

I don’t have sky so haven’t seen this previously 

My goodness I was bawling about an hour into it as I obviously knew what was coming.

Such a great way for the documentary to be put together using his own voice from those tapes.

Everyone involved should be well proud of it as I’m sure Teddy is.

Best thing I’ve watched in a long time.
