Excellent short documentary on Brian, with enlightening contributions from Brian's father, Mick Jagger and Alexis Korner. Near-contemporary with Brian's death, about two years afterward, so vital in that respect. No insight on the circumstances of his death as such, though Jones Sr describes him as in a positive mood on the previous day. An accident is credible, though it seems suspicious to me - but we will never know the truth at this stage. Unique versions of Satisfaction and The Last Time top and tail the programme - maybe BBC radio sessions?
