This Friday - BBC4 - 'The Creation Story' + 'Creation at the BBC'

[Greeny]

Looks like a nice night's viewing on BBC4 on Friday. Well... for certain indie minded guys of a certain age. Oh... that'll be most of us on here then, lol.

First up a documentary, followed by a 'Creation at the BBC' song compilation. And then, if you haven't had enough, an Omnibus special on Alan McGee.

... This is the definitive and fully-authorised documentary of the highs and lows of the UK's most inspired and dissolute independent record label - Creation Records. Over 25 years after Creation's first records, it follows the story from the days of the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Primal Scream and Teenage Fanclub to the Boo Radleys, the Super Furry Animals and of course Oasis, among many, many more.

The label's enigmatic founder Alan McGee talks candidly of the trail which led from humble beginnings in Glasgow, via drink and drug dependency to being wined and dined at No 10 Downing Street by Tony Blair.

Nice one, BBC
