I was there.

For the most part, it was live clips of Prince interspersed between long excerpts from two different BBC documentaries - one from a few years ago (narrated by Trevor Nelson) and the one from the early nineties which had access to Paisley Park.

The live clips were all things that had been shown on British TV before. A few appearances from the late nineties (on TFI Friday and some other show presented by Donna Air & Chris Moyles) were featured, as were a couple of songs from the Lovesexy live broadcast in 1988 (Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry', Purple Rain). There was also the interview he did with Mel 'Scary Spice' Brown.

Oh yeah, and at the start they showed the video to 'Come On' (where Prince pretends to be an elderly busker on Hyde Park Corner) and that clip of young Prince on the Minneapolis news that was unearthed recently.

No great revelations were made in those 90 minutes. But it was fun.
It's been too long since you've had your ass kicked properly:
