Prog Brittania - BBC Four

======
Prog Brittania

I was in the UK a week ago and stumbled upon a program on BBC Four (I think) called Prog Brittania. It took two hours and told the story of the brith (and untimely death) of the Prog Rock scene in the UK from the early Soft Machine / Canterbury scene emergence through the many spin off groups and the ever increasing requirement of virtuoso musicianship and more extravagant stage presence - Yes, Genesis - until the Punk era overshadowed the genre. A fabulous program and one you should try to see. Did anyone else see it?

I was told about this program by a friend on LinkedIn Prog discussion group. Did any of you English - or European Moonies see this program.

Any idea if it is available on DVD for purchase?

Thanks for any and all feedback.

Regards from Texas,
Ted
