Spike Lee announces Off The Wall Documentary - Estate Announcement Page 66

As a whole its the biggest broadcaster.BBC has two channels.BBC one shows soaps and two shows more documentry type shows. BBC is the national broadcaster so Everyone gets them

The BBC as a whole is indeed the broadcaster with the largest audience share in the UK. It is publicly funded.

There are more than just two channels however: BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Four, BBC News, BBC Parliament, CBBC etc. - all broadcasting on television to UK households. There are also regional variances in the content and indeed line-up of channels depending on where you are in the UK. And a network of radio channels.

BBC Two would appear to be, over the last 20 years or so, the UK's 3rd most watched TV channel behind BBC One and ITV.
 
If someone still has not seen this or BAD25... Get on it ASAP! lol
 
^^ Plus BBC iplayer which allows you to watch / listen to most BBC broadcast programmes online (free) for 30 days after they have been broadcast..

Yes of course the bbc has many diff tv/radio channels but i was talking interms of the mainstream BBC channels that everyone gets and got before the digitalisation of tv. The original standard channels in the uk are bbc 1 and 2,ITV channel 4 and 5 any show on those channels gets the most ratings all the other freeview channels lag far behind. I just hope they promote it this time unlike when they showed bad 25.i remember a rollingstone doc showed on bbc 2 at the same time and every other advert was for it.yet nothing for bad
 
Yeah ive heard of that but ive also read about it having alot of security issues. I'll record it off film on and watch it on intelsat
 
If you have android or a laptop search for filmon tv. You can watch uk tv on there for free

Yes Michael was human - but he was definitely touched by something special!


He was man but extraordinary

Are there still parts of the UK that don't get the digital channels? I know before we were ALL digital there were pockets of weaker signals but since the analogue signal was switched off the digital one was boosted.
 
Not sure chris. Havnt lived in uk for the past two years. Maybe random areas in the wilds of scotland had trouble with the change but i think everywhere else was pretty smooth when the change over happened. Think it was a good five plus year ago
 
Great review. He even praises Dangerous and said some nice words about HIStory! Very refreshing to see that in an article.

Only mistake in that article is this sentence:

"As Lee's documentary shows, Epic Records hated Jones' production work on "Off the Wall."" which is not true at all. It is said just that they didn't believe Jones was the right producer for the album because he's too "jazzy". They never criticized or "hated" anything in relation to his work on Off The Wall and nothing such is mentioned in Spike's doc.

This other interview is good but not that positive as the other.

It has this disgusting racist part about MJ wanting to be white(er):

"But 1979 was scarred by the beginning of the quasi-racist "disco sucks" backlash; Michael also got his first nose job that year, narrowing his nostrils. And though he would become even more successful in the '80s, those astronomical heights sometimes catered to white tastes&#8212;in both appearance and sound&#8212;in a way that could seem effortful, cynical, and sad."

And it has this mistake: "This is heard on iconic opener "Don&#8217;t Stop &#8216;Til You Get Enough," the first song Michael ever wrote by himself" which is not true.

You'd think that in this day and age, with so much information available literally at our fingertips, fact checking would be a lot easier for journalists than ever before. Unbelievable.

Thats why somebody who's had the opportunity to witness his entire solo career should be allowed his entire story from every perspective because we've never gotten it

The problem is when the people who say they want to know really doesn't

Once again, Brighter, you're referring to some "secret entire story" that the world either doesn't know or doesn't want to know or aren't ready to know.
If you don't tell us what you're talking about, how do we know if we want it, or are ready to know???????????????

Once aain, because you see what? Because you see all of us not wanting, or not ready to know.

Or are you the one with the perspective of his whole adult career and see the thing we apparently don't want or ready to know.

You know I also had the opportunity to witness his entire solo career, and his teen career, and his child prodigy career. The only things I missed are the talent shows, and the Chitlin Circuit, obviously. And I still have no clue what you're talking about.

.@michaeljackson's Off the Wall is named Best New Reissue, reviewed by @ryandombal http://p4k.co/YGtDz

Michael audibly moved to tears at the end of the song, his voice cracking. It’s an imperfect moment from a noted perfectionist, and Jones’ production handles the emotion with understated grace. "A lesser producer would have milked all that drama for all it’s worth," says ?uestlove in the doc, laughing. "Trust me, if Puffy was producing ‘She’s Out of My Life’ he would have had… Kleenex sponsor the tour."

Hahaa:D

Ignore Bringing Brighter Days. He/She hasn't a clue how to make a contribution to a conversation without backing it up with proof. What he/she says is gospel.

It seems to me this person is trying to be mysterious? But he/she is not very good at it, and make him/herself look like someone who has no idea what he/she is talking about
