Special 5 Police in Montserrat

Special 5 Police in Montserrat

  • 1982-07-07T21:30:00Z30m

"Police in Montserrat": 45-minute documentary of the band recording Ghost in the Machine, including four songs performed in Montserrat: Demolition Man, One World (Not Three), Spirits in the Material World, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Hosted by keyboardist and TV personality Jools Holland, the program starts with an introduction to the island of Montserrat and then gets to the band in the studio. Rather than focus on the recording of the album, we find separate sessions with Andy Summers, Sting, and Stewart Copeland. Summers offers a guitar demonstration that includes glimpses of “Message in a Bottle” with or with effects. He also plays a little jam with Holland.

Sting goes over the recording process and gives us insight into his songwriting. He chats about how he came up with “Message” and we also meet “Brian”, his upright electric bass. We get another jam with Holland, and Summers eventually joins in as well.

Lastly, Holland speaks with Copeland about his drum kit and style. No jam occurs between them, though. The program fills out with studio videos for “Demolition Man”, “One World (Not Three)”, “Spirits In the Material World”, and “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”. These will look very familiar to anyone who’s already watched the main collection of videos, as they show the same form of mimed studio work. I’d have liked to really see the band record Ghost, but “Montserrat” possesses some informational and entertainment value nonetheless.

Special 6 Cool Britannia

Special 6 Cool Britannia

  • 1997-03-31T21:30:00Z1h 5m

What Britain does best is breed new bands. One of the things LATER WITH JOOLS HOLLAND tries to do best is to spot those new bands as they emerge and put them on television. When 'Later' started in 1992, British rock and roll was still in the doldrums and grunge ruled OK. Fortunately things got better fast. Blur, Oasis and the rest kickstarted Britpop, Paul Weller found his stride again and they were all happy enough to come on the show and do what they do best and play live. Bands like Radiohead and The Verve would play the show when they wouldn't even do Top Of The Pops. Travis appeared on 'Later' when they'd released their first limited edition single, Stereophonics, Catatonia and then Coldplay made their TV debuts on the programme and kept on coming back. They started as debutantes and came back as headliners. Last series Keane, Franz Ferdinand and 22-20s all came on 'Later' to stake their claim. From 1993 to 2003, here's young British Rock and Roll flexing its muscles, history in the making.

Jools Holland introduces a special 90-minute celebration of Later... with Jools Holland with an eclectic array of artists and fans of the show picking their favourite and most memorable performances from over the years ahead of the show's 250th episode. Featuring the likes of Paul Weller, Richard Curtis, Trevor Nelson, Adele, Wayne Hemingway, Dizzee Rascal, Nicky Wire and many more.

Welcome to the second 'Later' DVD, a journey down rock from the dark side. Here's a decade's worth of rock and roll with a razor's edge that takes you back to some of the West Coast torch bearers of the early 90s - step forward Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees, even the dark lords themselves, Metallica, - and then plunges you into the heart of the new rock of The White Stripes, The Vines and The Hives. Not many of the bands are English and the immediate qualifications for inclusion include the possession of dark glasses or leather jackets, great drummers and the ability to throw shapes in the studio. In America they call this stuff modern rock. On 'Later' these are the bands who've exploded out of their corner like a bomb, driven by angst or rage or the simple joys of making some noise...

Special 2003 Hootenanny 2003/2004

  • 2003-12-31T22:30:00Z30m

Jools Holland's long-established Hogmanay/New Year's Eve celebration Later … Hootenanny remains TV's definitive dad-rock haven after 11 years on air. Amusingly, the outing comes close to shooting itself in the foot by opening with Solomon Burke's rip-roaring "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love", thus giving the following 31 turns a near-impossible act to follow. If in doubt, watch it at the end, as the everybody-up-on-stage version of Jeff Beck's "Hi Ho Silver Lining" that closes the show is unfortunately a shambles. Along the way, though, there are plenty of highlights, the best of which add up to a triumph for the Welsh contingent. Cerys Matthews and Tom Jones do their best smoochy version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" before it began to wear a bit thin, the strapping Matthews managing to come on like a cross between Bambi and that girl you fancied in the lower sixth. Immediately preceding this is a gloriously menacing performance from John Cale in which he turns Johnny Mercer's jazz classic "I Wanna Be Around" into a leering, spitting threat to the listener's personal safety. There's something for everyone here, though, so just enjoy the show.
