Thanks to the ever vigilant Martin Cowan for noticing that Don't Look Back is being broadcast again - on More4 next Tuesday (31 July), at 10:00pm-12:00am.
More4 is a Freeview (digital terrestrial) channel which repeats selections of Channel 4’s output – generally an attractive idea, though for every re-run of The Sopranos you get wall-to-wall TV for Timewasters, like all those endless naff dream house buying/dream makeover/dream moving to somewhere nice series - aimed at people who must spend an awful lot of time dreaming.
And, then, just occasionally, More4 redeems itself with high art like Don’t look Back…
Here’s hoping that Channel 4 will also soon be showing the new Pennebaker documentary packaged in the recently released De Luxe DVD version of Don't Look Back.
