Help me out here

Anyone remember the whole night that channel 4 dedicated to prince. Called Beautiful Strange. I think I've seen a few things here about it. I am desperate to see this again. Mainly just the secret gig that was recorded in London. I have contacted channel 4 to ask them to show it again considering he'll be 50 in June. I thought it would be a very fitting tribute to the most fantastic 50 year old!! All they told me was there were no plans to show it again but my comments had been noted. Anyone else who wants to see this as much as I do, get onto channel4.com and 'contact us'. Maybe the more people suggest/request it the more they might listen. It was shown over 10 years ago and yet they show the same old rubbish all the time but there are no plans for repeating this! Help me please!!!
I know I hold you too tight, but I just can't seem to get close enough

The show itself (with the Mel B interview) was released on VHS at the time.

If you want to procure the show legally, this is the only way. Amazon sellers or eBay would probably be your best bet, although it may be pricey, and be aware of the NTSC/PAL thing (depends on your VCR, if you still have one!)

There was a thread about it just recently: http://prince.org/msg/7/265069

I'd love channel 4 to repeat the 85, 86 and 88 concerts so I can capture a digital feed!

It's not so much the Mel B interview I wanted. I still don't understand why the hell they got her doing it! Want to see the secret gig that was recorded because I saw him on that very tour.
