Pulp
And today with have two Pulp documentaries.
No Sleep Till Sheffield: Pulp Go Public (1995)
Short and not particularly deep but a lovely throwback to the mid-90s. Also old enough that it still has (for whatever reason!) a random spot of Gary Glitter.
The Story Of… Pulp’s Common People (2006)
Longer and somewhat more in-depth, though with a tendency to wander off – the pub analysis was un-needed – and stray from from the narrative under construction. No obvious disgraced celebrities feature in this one but there was a small callout out to Rolf Harris and his stylophone.
Manic Street Preachers – From There To Here (BBC2 1998)
Another nice mid-90s documentary, this time on the Manic Street Preachers.
Alev Lenz – Fall Into Me
As used a the end of one of the better Black Mirror episodes.
