The 25th anniversary of the rockumentary is celebrated in style, with an hour of outtakes - Artie Fufkin gets egg on face again - a celebration feature, an exclusive Nigel Tufnel interview about Stonehenge (after his exhaustive sonic vibratory research) and live footage of the band. At times, the feature is a bit like a C4 clipshow, but with a better class of contributor - there's an interview with Reg Presley, whose Troggs tapes were a real-life forerunner in inadvertent rock band hilarity, and it's good to see Kings of Leon and the Taps du jour, Anvil, along with more expected celebrators. I still think the Rutles deserve a nod, though.
