Don't get you hopes up too high until you've seen it. If you recall Trevor Nelson's highly inaccurate Soul Nation series, which was heavily criticised, there's a history that hasn't been properly explored. The UK's love of soul music "...was a London scene..." he reckoned.

Hopefully the Beeb will do a better job than Channel Four.

theres gonna be no problems here, not a sign of trevor nelson, and this prgramme has been well made

I'm not so sure about the return of Dr. Who but I'll sure be watching the Soul Series. Thx for the tip and now "Doctorin' the Tàààààààààààààààààààààààààààààrdis!"

Sounds great but where is the disco episode? Silly of me to ask I know; the only time there are TV shows on disco are when they can talk about the 70s being 'the decade that taste forgot' (groan) & wheel out afro wigs & Bee Gees clips (double groan! ); the real disco music never gets mentioned!

Right on it!!! It also seems to me that WHEN they do a show about disco they always show the same things. When are they gonna produce an underground show where the lesser known Disco trax are included. Even Cerrone complains that he's seldom invited to French television. And when they do a retroshow about the 70's on Belgian TV, they never mention Two Man Sound, Gibson Brothers, Ottawan or Chocolats. A bloody shame!

Hey, wait! May 9th is a Monday, not a Saturday. Is Monday the 9th or Saturday the 7th or...?

Maybe it's best that they don't touch disco. As they'd probably go over the same ol' ground: Studio 54 etc, yawn yawn yawn... :roll:

its to do with the discovery of a tape deck hidden and connected to d.js decks in a london nightclub playing rare records,im not suggesting it was he,but his bodyguard :roll: openly admitted it, with bootlegging out of control people are concerned

[SandraDee]

Nothing about Ms.Levine would surprise me. She's certainly a character! (Sandee being very tactful )

[buckaroo]

Hi DISCODISK: Terry Lennaine was big on Dalek's too, used to have one himself, which he brought to his 'Get Together's' in the 70's - must be some kind of soulful Dalek connection!
