Everybody in the Place


You've got two weeks as I write this to catch a top top doc on iPlayer. I'm talking about Everybody in the Place: an Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992. It's nominally about the explosion of rave culture but explores so much more.

Not only is it top top content but it's also presented in a really interesting way. Instead of voiceovers, talking heads, and archive footage like a lot of music documentaries, Everbody in the Place takes a different route. It uses a format of a talk to a class of sixth form students, who ask questions and interact with Roland 909s. It may sound wanky but it works and charmingly so.

While there are many highlights, and I heartily recommend you catch it on the BBC iPlayer before September, I'd just like to share this...


Body popping to Numbers by Kraftwerk on US TV. Love it. Absolutely love it.
