Hi, I was the researcher on this documentary ... it's called "Not like any other Love" The Smiths: A Culture Show Special and it's on this sunday (12th May) at 11pm BBC2. Correct - It's presented by Tim Samuels. Amy Lame, Simon Armitage, Stuart Maconie, Wayne Hemingway, Noel Gallagher, Charles Hazelwood, Jo Slee and Kerry McCarthy feature. It's a half hour film on the band's cultural legacy .... a film by fans for fans! Salford Lads Club were kind enough to let us film in The Smiths Room, and interviews also took place in London and York. Lots of great archive too from the BBC, Steve at Soundsville International .... and Jonathan Barnett, Hetty Church and Grant Showbiz.
Not Like Any Other Love: The Smiths - BBC 2
DURATION: 30 MINUTES
It's 30 years since Manchester four-piece The Smiths changed the face of British pop with their debut single Hand In Glove. In this half-hour Culture Show special, fellow Mancunian and lifelong fan Tim Samuels sets out to find out why The Smiths have such a special place in the hearts of a generation of Brits. The Smiths were only around for five years in the mid-eighties, but to this day the sentiment their music evokes is strong. Samuels pays visits to a variety of dedicated fans including fashion designer Wayne Hemingway, poet Simon Armitage, Labour MP Kerry McCarthy and Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher to analyse the look, the lyrics, the issues and the riffs that made The Smiths Britain's first, and arguably best ever, indie rock band.

We’re celebrating The Smiths on @BBC2 12th May with @TimDSamuels … 30 years since their first single release ‘Hand in Glove’
Which I'm guessing is one of the two programmes Morrissey refused to participate in.
