On the TV doc just shown, Steve wasn't over-featured, but spoke on several occasions with great eloquence regarding the period and the Bowie musicians Ronson and Garson. His description of Bowie as "a Pegasus" was brilliant and far and away the most poetical, imaginative observation of what was a pretty shallow programme. Reg Cornwall

Watch it on the iplayer

I'll be watching the later showing, following the 'Ziggy Stardust' film.
My first gig was the Ziggy tour at Leeds Rollerena, I still remember it as if it was yesterday.

Can't believe it will be 40 years next year.

I too watched Steve,and like you thought it was pretty shallow,although I loved the Laughing Knome.I just wonder when,as Steve has been in the buisness for over 40 years,when he gets his night,of tributes etc .

I can't watch it in the US, as much as I'd like too. But honestly even as someone who's been a Bowie fan since she was a tot, I'd rather see Steve's show. This isn't flattery, it's straight up truth. How many Bowie shows has there been? I just want something I haven't seen before. A whole show about Mr. Steve would be something.

Excellent Bowie docu shame Harley input was so short & sweet
but as always he managed to say much more in a few short sentences than others did with many words.
The show reminded me of my school days when it was all Bowie & Bolan in the playground but I knew having seen Steve performing Judy Teen on TOTP that he was the real star.Somehow not following all the other kids & having my own hero (a local one too, as I grew up in Camberwell a stones throw from Newcross) made it all the more special.
Surely its about time a film maker gets his cameras rolling on Steve.
