They have produced a few similarly styled programmes recently and they often look attractive. Sadly, the reality is that the musical interludes, which are great to watch, are overwhelmed by the shite that the has-been guests spout in between.
I would much rather see it done in a documentary format with more music and none of the sofa bound claptrap. I may well record it. At least Iāll be able to fast forward through the waffle and watch the remaining 15 minutes of music.

I hope youāre wrong but looking at the long list of āguest contributorsā I fear you may be right.
Stevie Wonderās music is crying out for someone to do a more in depth piece on his purple patch from āMusic of my mindā to āSongs in the key of lifeā.
Itās just cheap, lazy TV from the Beeb again.
I canāt see that list costing a fortune to coerce on to the programme and thereās no other big production costs. I suppose there will be some royalties to pay, but thatās about it.
Like you, I hope Iām wrong, but if thereās more than 25% of the programme devoted to live clips, Iāll be surprised.
Recording it = fast forward through the talking heads.
Just caught up with this.
Will avoid the usual cliches like āinspirationalā . Just hope he gets the sponsorship he needs to do the things he wants to do.

James Morrison was embarrassingly totally effing clueless on the last show with Beverley Knight about āVocal Giantsā
Yep, the usual format I fear.
15 mins of the genius that is Stevie and the restā¦ celebs talking bollox.
Set in Paris this is a very decent film, strong story line and very well shot ā¦What sucks harder than a circus seal is the over dub - Whats wrong with subtitles? Perhaps Netflix have lost faith their audience can read. The film is in the same vein as La Haine and Cannabis (Both of which are excellent āavecā subtitles) Far more realistic than UK or US āgrittyā thrillers. The accents require a suspension of intellect even Trump would struggle to withstand. - A terrible shame

I think you prolly just need to Finagle the audio settings in your Netflix app.
Iāve just checked this film in Netflix & mine is showing āFrench Original 5.1ā as tā default audio option for me with French Original ( 2.0) as an option & English subtitles selected.
I remember a few weeks back when starting to watch the excellent German Netflix series āDarkā I had to manually select German 5.1 audio & force set English subtitles, after being initially thrown a loop with the terrible English overdub. Maybe now Iāve forced this option in one instance it is now selecting my preference automatically. You should find an audio & subtitles option tho.

āA pile of heads and a pile of bodiesā 
The Stevie Wonder programme was pretty uplifting despite some of the talking heads.
Iāve just finished watching the recording of it.
Tbh, I couldnāt be arsed to FF through the waffle, so I watched it all. Iāll concede it was a bit better than I expected, but how good could it have been.
Tonight on R4
Or catch up with it on iPlayer.
His finest hour IMO.
