About The Young Idea is the story of The Jam. It charts their career from formation in the early seventies, through the heady days of chart success and on to their break up in 1982. The programme features extensive, brand new interviews with Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler alongside archive performance footage and new contributions from fans, journalists and many involved in the band's career.

Just watched this, what a great documentary.

It's a little jarring where a few bars of a song is played, then interrupted by the introduction of the next interviewee, before the song is resumed, but this is a minor complaint on an otherwise very well-done overview. Several portions brought a big smile to my face, and I learned a few facts about the band.

The video quality is somewhat fuzzy on the clips from The Rainbow and The Ritz, and the Rockpalast show, but the audio is great.

Highly recommended.

I just watched this as well, after it sat on my DVR for nearly 4 months. I'm sure the DVD includes a lot more footage than the broadcast version but I really enjoyed what I saw. They included a good collection of talking heads for the interview segments.
