Well done

I was a huge fan of the Jam and I also enjoyed the Style Council but never really knew their story so this was a well done documentary on them. It is a bit long and I think maybe they could have found others to talk to. Boy George is fine but a few other contemporary musicians could not be found to also discuss the band ?

Strange choice of guests but not bad

I enjoyed the look back over the group's work/life, as well as the interviews with Paul, Mick and Steve. What I couldn't fathom was why Boy George was on there, even less so Dr Dweeby Watson! What on earth have they got to do with The Style Council?! Would've been much more interesting to have brought on some more relevant guests, such as contemporary musicians.Despite that, defo still worth a watch.
