    Yes, watched it earlier in the week - the spoof portrayal of his 70s public schoolboy band was a masterpiece. I couldn't work out whether they were based on Genesis or Pink Floyd - the former I think.

    Very Fast Show and very funny. BBC4 if you've missed it.

    Thanks. The wife had me looking for this last night but she didn't know what it was called.

    Dont know why but the scene with Matt Lucas as the producer and him shuffling up on his chair had me in stitches, very simple but very funny

    Amusing but a outrageous rip-off of The Rutles.

    You're not going to produce something like this without treading on the toes of previous ' comic rockumentaries', but I'm glad they tried because it is very fertile ground. This showed a real knowledge and affection for the bands and music as well as some savage pisstaking in places. There were a lot of people in on this joke and prepared not to take themselves too seriously, and it produced some genuine laugh out loud moments - I thought it would either be brilliant or a total disaster and was relieved that it didn't end up the latter - looking forward to the next one now.

    Just watched the last episode. The duet when Brian is totally "outsung" is brilliant.
