Pink Floyd are a very well documented group. From the crazy wild eyed psychedelic days of Syd, to the pompous heaving dry ice of the guitar solo'ed late seventies, The Floyd have been a firm favourite for those that like their cigarettes strong and exotic. So, with that, it's worth tuning into The Pink Floyd Story: Which One's Pink? (BBC One, Wednesday, 10.45pm) to see if this new documentary can shine any new light on these crazy diamonds.
Like any pop-doc, this will walk an already well-trodden path, but the gold will lie in new unearthed footage. On Wednesday, fanboys get ready to drool over never-seen-before film of early rehearsals and gigs. This of course means we get to see the talismanic Syd in full flight, before being shown his horrendous free-fall into mental unrest and drug fuggery. Aside from dewy nostalgia, we'll also get to hear of the monumental power struggle between Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters, who during difficult times, could make grown men weep just by exchanging glances. This will be a tale filled with music, drama, laser shows and very well spoken drug fiends. Younger curious types will wonder what the fuss is all about...
