Tish and Fie! Looks like I'm gonna be out and miss this. Still, it's on BBC4 so doubtless it'll be repeated a few times.

I'm interested to see how they approach the whole 'punk killing prog' thing because that's always struck me as being something of a load of twaddle. For sure punk made prog almost terminally uncool for a long time but in real terms it's not as if a lot of the prog-behemoths - Yes, Genesis, Floyd, Crimson*, - were having trouble selling albums or doing huge tours after Punk stuck the boot in. Indeed, some prog-bands had their biggest (commercial) successes way after Punk had detonated.

* as in the 80's version of course
