Not news of the B&S appearance I'm afraid but a reference in an article in today's Independent on Sunday review section in the UK. The piece is a profile of film-maker DA Pennebaker, mainly about his 'rockumentaries' but it also tells us that he is responsible for the interview segments in the TV programme. After a description for those of us on this side of the pond (which makes it sound like a programme well worth watching and not unlike Later with Jools Holland) it goes on: 'Although Pennebaker's involvement is restricted to 10 minutes of interviews in each hour-long episode, he apparently exerts pulling power, not only among viewers but performers. Douridas says the prospect of meeting the veteran film-maker lured the chronically diffident Scottish band Belle and Sebastian into giving their first television performance (they had a song called "Like Dylan in the Movies" on their last album). "They were very shy", recalls Pennebaker. "I really liked them."' Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
