Johnson and Knopfler’s Music Legends - New TV Show - April 25th 2024

[Love Expresso]

Used the series record function on the Sky Q box for the episodes at 02:00 so that I could watch them at any time and flick through the ads.  If you have the same system you might want to do that too as I only found out by chance it was shown at that time.

Just watched episode 1 and found it enjoyable enough, although it was a bit talky with TJ giving lots of anecdotes.  With about 90% of the show filmed with the three of them sat in the same position it felt rather static.  The highlights were when they were having a sing song and some of TJ's anecdotes were interesting - he is good at telling them.

Forgive me, who was TJ again?

Snippet with TJ - MK playing the boswell

Ep 2 was filmed at British Grove last summer and Sam Fender comes across really well.The story behind his song "Spit Of You" is very touching.
Ep 3 is the best so far.What a woman Cyndi is.Mark and Cyndi first met in the early 80s.Lots of warmth and respect between all 3 and Mark playing with Cyndi on True Colors is just beautiful.
This episode has the most Mark so far and is all the better for it.

Watched episode 1 last night. A great watch, Brian and Mark have a warm, natural rapport and Tom Jones was very interesting. Very relaxed atmosphere between the three. A bit like a musical episode of Last of the Summer Wine! A UK TV ref there.....the sing-song were great, Mark strummed a bit on guitar to accompany. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I can't wait for them to be broadcast in my country...hopefully soon!! From the trailer they look like fantastic episodes, not to be missed!

Eps 4 and 5 are filmed on the East and West coasts of the USA.
Two of the coolest guys in the business,
Both look very good for their age and can still perform at an extremely high level(if only......!)
The choice of guests on this show has been excellent so kudos to whomever did that.
It would have been nice to see Mark jam with both of them but I doubt he could keep up.
Ep 6 is the one in which Mark really shines.Great warmth between him and Emmy which means Brian spends the episode being a massive fan of them both.
Mark reverts to candy store kid when they visit a guitar shop.
One criticism I do have of the show is that the episodes are too short and rushed in places.So many questions and opportunities are missed/ignored.
Overall though a really lovely show which I hope everyone here gets to see.
Roll on series two.
