Can some one reord this so the fans in the U.S can view it !?!?

Which states BBC2.

in fact I think it's BBC RADIO TWO.

the coke-snorting ho? Thats cool, but how is that tidbit relative?

Just curious.

You can listen to the show on the BBC Radio 2 website.
You'll be able to listen to it online or download it onto your ipod.

You know this would be better on film documentary or something like that.

This would be better transmited through television.

Since I am not there in England, but here in New England, and since I can't remember my old geography lessons, could I ask any of you to tell me what time is it going to be in the part of the planet I am in when the show starts? I know it must be a five to five and a half hour difference - but I can't remember if I should add or subract the difference! Poor Mrs. Woolf! Bad in politics, bad in geography, bad in English... But she tries!

Oh!... When they start to air Radio France Internationale here, it is 2 pm in Paris and 7 am here. No...the show starts at 7am here when it's 12 there. Someone, help?!

I read that the car was stolen recently following an exhibition (near to florida) and that a reward - of 1 million dollars - was posted for information leading to it's safe return. Not sure of the current status.

Very typical, Morrissey's voice: not heard!!!!
What was that all about??? intersting doc though.

Did Morrissey say even one line squeezed in amongst the rest, or wasn't he in there at all?

If not, despite the false lead, I hope folk enjoyed the broadcast, which is at least about a subject we know is dear to Morrissey's heart.

Next!

Folks
This is directly from the BBC Radio 2 website advertising the programme. We’re mostly dependent on other sources here for our news. It is no fault of mine, not of Danbutt or S J Banks, authors of the earlier stories, if the promises weren’t born out – unless we’re all half-asleep! Shit happens; let’s just move on. By the way, I don’t recall hearing Paul McCartney either: anyone?
Good night.

"Johnny Depp on James Dean
Tuesday 27 September @ 8.30-9.30pm
James Dean is the eternal youthful rebel - the movie idol blessed with the looks, style, talent and attitude that captivated a generation. To mark the 50th anniversary of his death at the wheel of his Porsche on September 30 1955, Johnny Depp presents this profile of one of Hollywood's most popular icons. Although he died before Elvis had his first hit, Dean's rebellious image has always been associated with rock 'n' roll and he was idolised by musicians like Presley, Bob Dylan and John Lennon, who is quoted as saying "without James Dean, the Beatles would never have existed." Johnny Depp highlights the artistic passion that drove this country boy from rural Indiana, to become a 20th century icon. He starred in only three movies but when he died, aged just 24, his sensitive, violent, moody and tormented portrayal of rebellious youth had inspired a generation of disaffected teenagers. The programme features interviews with fans including Morrissey, David Puttnam, David Bailey, Dennis Hopper, Martin Landau, Bill Wyman and Sir Paul McCartney."

This documentary is part of the demise of the BBC.....

how annoying to publish this out of someone elses magazine i read this ages ago man

I'm sure Morrissey's been on record in the past, saying how he didn't really care much for Dean's acting work. "He was a bit of a ham, really." I think were his very words.

But James Dean as a (counter) cultural persona was far more interesting than his movies.

"Giant", I recall, was a very, very long soap drama starring a bunch of queens hamming it up like there's no tomorrow (Rock Hudson, Dean, Liz Taylor, etc).

Oh well, that was my two bit.

No Morrissey last night but the producers may have been short of time and therefore some of the more 'up to date' contributions, with the exception of Paul McCartney's brief 'he was all image' and Adam Faith's 'teenagers were never allowed to..' (go out of the house) and so forth. That said, I made a couple of noteworthy comments:

'all of us were touched by Jimmy and he was touched by greatness.'

'really he was not a rebel' - Natalie Wood.

Many people are better placed to comment on his life and on his work but it was nice to listen to a brief interview with Natalie Wood who also suffered a very tragic early death. And comments from his friend Eartha Kitt who told him that his porsche car was spooked and that it was going to kill him. Another from (Alex Guiness?) along similar lines.

Just something about her voice.

Other than that, it would have been a better television documentary. There should have been visuals to go along with it.

Johnny Depp sounded oh so very boring on there. He is an excellent actor, but not a good narrator.

james dean liked to have sex with men.

It was interesting sort of but I wanted to hear from Morrissey. Why advertise someone's name is connected with the doco and then cut them out?

yeah I know why.

Wednesday evening in the UK and this time a much more exciting/interesting TV show on Dean. This one included some interesting and spectacular footage together with pictures from the accident scene and wreckage.

In addition, the program had interviews with people who were involved in the accident, namely policemen on the scene (1 witness) and another witness who had been driving very close behind Donald Turnupseed and watched the entire accident scene unfold from start to finish.

The program showed a computerised reconstruction of the crash scene, using modern and accurate computer predications and image analysis software, looking at photographs taken from the crash scene and of the road markings - tyre skid marks.

For anyone interested, the program proved (by scientific means) and quite conclusively that:

1) Dean was not travelling as quickly as the rumours would have you believe - on investigation his car was travelling between 70 and 75mph.

2) Donald Turnupseed was travelling between 60 and 65mph.

3) Dean's car could clearly be seen a significant distance away on that road. There was a dip in the road, but on investigation this dip was not sufficient enough to stop another driver seeing Dean's car and seing the car from several hundred metres away.

4) Donald Turnupseed clearly caused the accident, without a shadow of doubt, and also contradicting with the common view (and original trial outcome) that blamed Dean.

5) On investigation, looking at the markings from Turnupseeds tyres, it actually looked like he was not looking at the road infront of him (with Dean's car on it) when he turned.

6) Dean was driving the car. Dean was badly injured in the crash due to the weight of Turnupseeds car and because the aluminium Porsche was much smaller (in height terms) and also very much lighter, much lighter, causing significant damage.

7) Both drivers were speeding, but not by much, and certainly not as much had been expressed at the original trial - at which time Dean had been blamed for the crash and for speeding in the region of 93 mph (based on a flawed estimatation of speed versus distance it would now appear)

8) Dean was braking very hard when his Porsche crashed- some 20 yards and more from the tyre skid marks it would seem.

Apologies for the poor spelling and typing but I wanted to get this down quickly just incase anyone was interested.
