So thats what happens then when Paxman signs off at 11pm every night.

An hour where Simple Minds get 1 line, Wet, Wet, Wet and Travis are barely mentioned wheras Josef K , Teenage FanClub and Billy MacKenzie get a full 5 minutes each is about right. The only downsides are that narrator; Edith Bowman has a few clumsy lines and there’s a dodgy middle effectively devoted to blue eyed “soul”, Pat Kane and the growth of Scottish Nationalism.

My two favourite moments are Clare Grogan (looking amazing) going dewy eyed about her memories as a schoolgirl at hanging out in a record shop just to stare at Orange Juice’ Steven Daly selling badges (who went on to write Alt.Culture) and footage of 19 year old Postcard supremo himself; Alan Horne sitting on a sofa in a Glasgow tenement next to a naked mannequin and a gorgeous Edwyn Collins looking well rather fey.

But where was Alan McGee ?

Top of the range talking heads (morley, cosgrove) and either up to date or archive footage of the participants themselves (Collins, Kapranos, Rankin, Proclaimers, Murdoch) makes for a very fine hour indeed.
