Bout time something like this came on british tv for The Kinks, We get plenty of Beatles Johnny Cash Queen Top Of The Pops nights coming on, never anything about The Kinks, looking forward to this coming to think of it we dont get much on about The Rolling Stones The Who, wonder if its something to do with ownership rights? thanks for sharing mrlennie  |

We have had a few things Micheal. The BBC already showed Ray Davies - Imaginary Man a few months ago - its a brilliant documentary!  I also remember watching Ray's performance at Glastonbury on TV  You're right though - its about time we had something like this on British TV! I'm really looking foward to it, especially the documentary about Dave. I don't have BBC4  but I'm confident that I'll be able to watch it online on BBC I Player |

Micheal, here is a link where you can watch Ray Davies - Imaginary Man - if you can't wait until the 15th!! (The link is from our forum) Its shown in several parts but the whole documentary is available to watch Here it is - kinksfanclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=articles&action=display&thread=1864BTW, the Yesterday (history) channel on freeview sometimes shows programmes about the 60s, although not always about the music. I did watch something on there last year, a programme of archive performances of 60s songs - one of them being the Kinks doing Waterloo Sunset |

Typical of American TV -- hundreds of channels and none of them with the programming we want!

I had a feeling that would be the case Kinkcan - Sorry! But I posted them in the hope that they might work outside the UK. |

So how was the evening? Did any of you in the UK see it? I like the idea that all across the country, thousands of people would be watching these programs at the same time. I wonder if the Kinks will come up more often in casual conversations as a result of this nationwide exposure.

The documentary about Dave was just as good as the Imaginary Man documentary about Ray. The Kinks At The BBC was good fun to watch - a whole hour of performances! Sorry that the link didn't work Kinkcan I do hope it becomes available outside the UK soon! |
