More Info please. How long was it? Any new insights? Was he in good mood? (Boy how I wish he would get rid of that glasses...)

I can't believe it's 2017 and they still can't get rid of this rights situation, like in the stone age. Soundbreaking documentary did the same thing being available in US and Canada only and Mark's bit ended up on youtube. And rightfully so! And I know they already monetised it. So that's the point? Upload it all on YouTube, monetise it and take your money back! It's that simple, but nobody cares.

Right now I only have my smartphone and I tried to use a proxy to acces to the video but none of the UK proxys apps works with my iOS version... At least I tried, sorry guys.

Half hour show, Mark came on for the last 10 minutes maximum.  Nothing about him personally (hence none of the usual uncomfortable jokes), all about the Mason/Dixon story.  It went to get statements from experts and Mark went to visit someone to look at some old documents.  Song performance only heard in fragments of 5-10s played at BG with Guy, and I think I saw Luke Brighty there too in the background.  Glasses worn throughout!

Personally I found this programme to be a little peculiar.  It was Mark playing investigative reporter, doing voiceover too and then there was nothing about him, but then it wasn't that sort of programme.  It was like he was miscast.  Anyone could've presented that segment and done a better job.  The whole thing was just a little peculiar.  Then to top it off he plays STP with a LP!  Not really the sort of thing I'd want to watch again and the performance was spoiled by being fragmented by talk.

But still..nobody recorded it? Or can record it from the player?

Thanks a lot dmg. Luke seems to be the man on charge everytime there is something to mime...

Reminds me of Mark's "The Everly Brothers" documentary voiceover, although he wasn't playing anybody. Let me say for a record, I hate this segmented talk/music game. Producers might think it's kind of dynamic or something, but completely unwatchable. Again, in the time of HD live shows and 360 degree concerts I want something better than just a miscast documentaries. Where's your Live From British Grove, Mark?

That will never happen. He needs the safety net. I remember the whole band miming for the Shangri-La Making-of and also at the KTGC bonus... always mimed.. really how cool it would be to have the recording process documented... loved that little piece at the very beginning of the Hansen short film, those (alternative) Basil rehearsal and the playing of Heart of Oak... then, MK sits there totally uncomfortable in his super duper studio
With a Laptop (Imagine! Oh why-oh-why?) and gives weak sing-and-talk-excerpts... totally unprofessional... really...

Almost got the recording. Just a minute.....

And here it is, sorry for the size but it looks like the forum just takes the video size instead of a small thumbnail :

[Love Expresso]

Thanks very much! Great work as usual from you!

Ok then, Luke did not mime, sorry for that.
And the LP thing, well it's the actual endorsed guitar, it's as easy as that. He needs new glasses. Did I mentioned that?

I think Mark really is a great narrator, honestly.

Well, if this guitar hero thing goes pear shaped there might be another job going!
