It would be nice if they used this new documentary to promote and anounce the airing of the R&C concert TV registration

PanicLord · 31 Dec 2014, 10:48

Sounds really good and BBC4 are a bit more in depth than most other channels here these days.

Might actually mention the 80s albums which, according to BTM, "sold well in ENgland and Europe"

Documentary About Meat Dont you Dare Miss It ::::

An only child beaten by an alcoholic father; superstardom to super-bankruptcy; divorce, mental illness and a phoenix-like rise back to acclaim, wealth and glory. This reads like an opera plot but it is the life and fortunes of Meat Loaf. The producers of this biography do not avoid the theatricality – even the font used to caption contributors is as gothic as the one on the Bat out of Hell album cover. Mr Loaf looks old, tired and unwell – until he takes to the stage, where the rock opera behemoth is at his monstrous best.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME
A profile of the rock star's life and music, reflecting on the music that propelled him to fame and charting his journey from an overweight, bullied child to his larger-than-life persona and icon status. Featuring an interview and performance by the singer, as well as backstage footage from a Las Vegas concert. The film also revisits the Dallas of Meat Loaf's early years and includes insights from high school friends who reveal where the unusual moniker really came from.

faolteam · 05 Jan 2015, 23:51

Im the Promoter

This was suppose to be March but the BBC have brought it forward

GenoJLaw · 06 Jan 2015, 00:53

I get BBC America though Time Warner but apparently BBC UK and BBC America are two different channels.

stretch37 · 06 Jan 2015, 02:15

*Wishes I had cable again*

Hopefully this appears online somewhere or is purchaseable online!

Do you honestly think they'll be willing to give you the footage if they still had it?

If so I want to know how you manage to do it.

I can't believe someone would use that as MARKETING.

Yeeeeeesh....

BBC in the UK is a network and is made up of several different channels so I'd imagine that BBC America will show a selection of what has aired previously on these channels or something like that.

I'd hope that the rest of the world is able to see this at some point and if not, that there will be ways to watch it online or something.

CarylB · 07 Jan 2015, 15:16

There is a site where those outside the UK will be able to watch it . someone very kindly posted the link on Meat's page many times. Unfortunately I cannot remember it, and Meat (when trying to change the picture posted with his initial announcement) managed to delete the entire thread

But it's worth doing some research if you're outside the UK. I recall Vicki thanked Rachel who posted it .. perhaps she has saved the link and could post it here?

JennaG · 07 Jan 2015, 15:56

One way that international fans could watch the iPlayer videos from outside of the UK would be to use a VPN to change your IP address. There are a number of services available and the free ones are usually limited in some way but one recommended by one of my computer magazines is tunnelbear.com

A free account limits you to 500mb of data per month which won't be enough to watch the show but a paid account giving you unlimited access on three devices would only be $4.99 a month.

I used to use these kind of services to watch the Celebrity Apprentice preview videos and extra footage from NBC's site a few years ago.

nikox1 · 07 Jan 2015, 20:14

looks like a good documentary, BBC usually do a good job on these type of programs. was most likely being kept to go with the new albums release in march!!!. but its good to get it early

samurai7 · 07 Jan 2015, 20:53

Lorraine Crosby and Bonnie Tyler are in the documentary from what I've read on Lorraine's FB
