Great news , New UK Carpenters TV Documentary is being screened this Bank Holiday (National Holiday) Monday 26 August @ 22.55 hrs BST on ITV , UK's leading Commerical television Channel
Entitled "CLOSE TO YOU :THE STORY OF THE CARPENTERS"
One hour documentary with Richard returning to the old A&M Studios (now part of Henson Studios) to discuss Carpenters recording techniques, songs and their legacy since Karen's death
Aside from Richard , John Bettis , Group members and possibly both Herb and Jerry will contribute to this Doc.Rare film footage and some rare tracks will be included alongside Carpenters Classics.
I checked the TV listings and Entertainments , unfortunately there were no special features or Richard interviews.Possibly the Doc has been hastily brought forward in the schedules ?
There may be more articles this weekend and on Monday with Richard or on Carpenters career etc.
Rival TV channels are offering poor Films , only the excellent Six Feet Under competes( to be videoed) , the Doc should do well with audience ratings as many will be on School Vacations and leave from work.
Eventually this Doc should be shown on VH1 , other Music Cable channels in USA , perhaps even PBS in USA and worldwide in other markets 2002 /2003.
I am away on leave for most of next week .Will update topic next week -hope other UK / Eire Corner members will message us all with details on the Doc and their reviews
This Doc is a surprise - The BBC Karen Carpenter Documentary is still due to shown in 2003 for Karen's 20th Anniversary and other events are planned on radio etc
Peter...awaiting Monday....hopefully not Rainy Days.....
