It's nothing TOO exciting, I just need to check I'm allowed to talk about it!

Ha, I wasn't worried about being allowed to post here specifically, just needed to clarify whether news about the programme itself was embargoed for the time being.

So, what I'm allowed to say for now is that I've been interviewed for a 4 part documentary series on Britpop bands of the mid 90s, to be broadcast next spring. Focus obviously isn't exclusively on Pulp, but they will be heavily featured. I'm in there as a talking head and they also filmed me at a few Pulpy locations round Sheffield - not sure how much of that will be used though. At least one band member has also been interviewed!

I'm also trying to nudge them in the direction of using some more interesting/obscure archive footage, rather than the standard bits that get trotted out - we'll have to see if anything comes of that though...

Exciting! Though I did groan when reading the word "Britpop". I thought maybe you'd been filmed for a three minute BBC "Look North" local news thing for next week when the tour dates are announced.

I'm sure you did a great job. Put it in your showreel to publishers for a Truth And Beauty deluxe

Is it for the Beeb? We want to see We Can Dance Again from the Prince's Trust gig in Dec'94! Side point, Guy Garvey did a "From The Vault" series on Sky I think during the summer looking at archive clips from ITV. In the Britpop episode, they dug out Pulp playing at the Leeds Warehouse in '93. I didn't see it but I assume the quality of the footage was better than what's on YouTube. Anyway, at least there's evidence that TV programme makers are capable of looking beyond the obvious.

Also interesting that a member of the band is being interviewed. I assumed that we'll get no press from Pulp next year as per 2011/12. Jarvis doing a never-ending publicity jaunt for his book (at least Mexico, Liverpool, Frankfurt in the past 6 weeks from what I've seen) has surely reminded him of the boredom of doing press and how tiring the travel is.

Anyway...well done!

Not currently allowed to say what channel or owt else about it! They do have access to a wealth of archive apparently though.

I saw the Guy Garvey thing had something Pulpy from local ITV but wasn't sure what it was - thought it said something about an old interview actually. Did anyone see it?

Oh, and the Britpop thing - yes, I hear you, but for mainstream general interest telly I guess they need an "in". They do seem to want to go reasonably in-depth though, and based purely on the interview we had they certainly seem to want to talk properly about the roots of the band rather than straight in in '94 or whatever.

Cool! (By the way, that was a winky emoji after the Truth and Beauty comment, not sure why it doesn't show!).

Re Garvey, I think it might have been the Jarvis and Russell interview from The Warehouse but I couldn't manage to find it when I did a trial with Sky's channels a couple of months back.

Giles Acyrylic is usually good for tweeting notifications of stuff like that, maybe it passed him by too.

A friend of mine was once involved in a minor TV programme about football and said that the cost of various clips was a significant factor in determining what got used, so maybe obscure is better from that point of view.

Would be a bit too emotional if the one band member interviewed that you mentioned, was Steve.

Nope, Candida. They were still trying to work on some of the others when I spoke to them.

So, I'm informed that there'll be no Pulp in the first episode this Sunday. For that sort of thing (including, erm, me) you'll be wanting parts 2 and 3.

The Menswear singer I think(?), Johnny Dean, has been tweeting about it a lot.

Well, I thought the first episode was pretty good! Nice one to see Ed Buller in there, and some behind the scenes outtakes from Pedro Romanyi's Parklife video. Hopefully bodes well for next week...

Yeah, it was OK. Would have liked more about the "genesis" of it from 1992/93 and the artier side (St Etienne, The Auteurs, more Suede (1993-mania, Mercury Prize win, Stay Together single - the highest-charting 'Britpop' single until Some Might Say got to number 1 a year later, I think) 1992 Blur (i.e Popscene), Pulp from that time) which has never been captured well on any of these many Britpop documentaries compared to say John Harris' The Last Party book.

At four parts and at the end of the first ep, they're already up to summer '95 I hope there's a fair bit of catch-up on Pulp to that point. The Oasis and Blur quotient is already pretty high (predictable if understandable).

Not sure how strictly chronological it'll be - we'll have to see I suppose.

I guess what's of interest to us lifelong scholars of this stuff isn't necessarily the same as what you'd aim at the typical Sunday night Channel 5 crowd.

Also: Christ everyone looks old. Glass houses I realise, considering my bit's not been on yet...

Sure, I get the mass appeal bit. But a four part doc (an hour and a half each albeit with many ad-breaks) does set it up as being quite comprehensive. The talking heads so far are all pretty well-known so you're gonna be amongst illustrious company.

I'm sure there'll be a drama made about this at some stage. The Brett-Damon-Justine triangle alone and the individual successes and fails of all three is just too rich not to have a go at it. I've just finished Danny Boyle's Pistols series and actually really liked it by the end.

Looking forward to part two. Strange how Channel 5 regularly does this weird thing where the on-screen title ("The Story Of Britpop") never matches that in the the listings guide ("Britpop: The Music That Changed Britain").
