I have it recorded on HDD and will watch it again to see if my opinion changes.
I watched this yesterday. A lot was missing -- specifically, some influential groups were elided from mention. It was also extremely anglocentric. I realize that the show's title was "Prog Britania" but it made it seem as if prog was strictly a UK phenomenon.

Also, the third part spent away too much time on the punk rock/demise of prog.
