Status Quo - Excess All Areas, BBC1 Documentary | 30th April 2000

After waiting years for a serious documentary about Quo, the fans were finally rewarded when BBC1 broadcast a 50-minute, in-depth documentary on April 30th. Imaginatively titled “Excess All Areas,“  the program was well researched and included comments from Noddy Holder, Bob Geldof, Chris Tarrant, Lilian Parfitt (Rick’s mom), Pat Barlow (Quo’s first manager), John Peel, Mark Radcliffe (Radio 1), Marc Riley (Radio 1), Marietta (Rick’s ex-wife), Patty (Rick’s ex-wife), Trevor Dann (Radio 1), and David Walker (Quo’s current manager). The program is based around interviews with Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Alan Lancaster, and John Coghlan and narrated by Danny Baker. It included clips from the FTMO Shepherds Bush gig as well as the recent FITLC photo shoot. Thanks @metalmadtom © BBC
