Radio on the TV, 25 September 2011
Author: beresfordjd from United Kingdom

This documentary is a radio show with pictures. To film Annie Nightingale talking to camera is rather a pointless exercise. Her story is fairly dull and brings little new to the viewer, especially if one has been a music fan for many years. it would have worked just as well as a radio broadcast. The only surprise for me was to see how much Annie had aged (I had not seen her for years). Lots of music people like Paul Weller have nice things to say about her and how she has helped new bands (no-one mentioned that her son managed Primal Scream when we were being told how much of a help she was to them!!) I have to say overall it was a rather boring story and I have to admit I turned it off after half an hour. Disappointing!
