I could see why they concentrated on the Rumours line up but to totally ignore Mirage seemed strange. All a bit sloppy in my opinion. Whereas FM at 21 and RFT's get repeated quite often in my house I wouldnt bother watching this one again.
Have recorded the Johnny Walker BBC Radio 2 interview and will give a listen tomorrow.

To be fair theres only so much they can cover in an hours television. I don't really think it gave the hardcore fans anything they didn't already know (unless 2009 interview footage of the band floats your boat) and it would be wrong to assume that every Joe Public wants a drawn out 2 hour programme on the band. However, for the casual fan it was nigh on perfect.
