The 'Young Guns: Go For It' documentary on The Smiths, which aired on UK Horizons tonight, was a different edit to the version which originally aired on BBC2 in 1999.

Whilst all of the original interview segments were the same, and some of the programme actually cut due to an advertisement break, there was also extra footage and different music used. The new footage mainly consisted of still photographs and more of the modern day Manchester footage which was used in the original version. The new footage was mainly mixed into the interview segments and this, together with the different music, gave the programme a faster and more upbeat feel to it.

  • Yes it was cut by 10 minutes or so but still it was much better than watching Bananarama which appeared after the smiths !

    But then again I still have the original version on tape so I'm not complaining .I just love Johny Marr summing up at the end and I QUOTE ' the best rock band around in the world between 1982-87 without anyone coming anywhere near us ,coudn't touch us , no contest'

    Anyone else agree :-) ??

    o i say ' some girls are bigger than others'

  • Ten minutes is a long time! I wish I had the original edit. Not fair. They hardly ever broadcast Smiths related stuff in the UK, and when they do it's Steve Wright talking all over 'What Difference Does It Make' on TOTP2 or whatever.
