As part of the Planet North season on BBC4, last Friday we were treated to the 2005 documentary of The Fall: The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E. Smith. Catch if on iplayer here. It was a refreshing change to some of the other programs in the series, such as the desparately stereotyped The North on a Plate, Utter shite. I enjoyed the Rugby League night though, however I think a more worthwhile effort would have included another documentary/program etc. (such as the Great Britain DVD from 2005) instead of just replaying the 1978 Challenge Cup Final. For a better insight into The Fall and the'Wonderful and Frightening World' of the old bugger, read his book Renegade from a couple of years back. Its almost as if he's telling you the stories over a pint.
Anyway, away from the talking heads and to actual music. Their most recent release is below.
