All About (British) Prog

Just recently, the BBC produced a 90-minute history of British progressive rock. Well, the first wave in the late 1960s/early 1970s, anyway. Not surprisingly, it's shown up on YouTube in three half-hour chunks:

Part 1: 1967-1970
Part 2: 1970-1973
Part 3: 1973-1977

It's a good overview of the British scene, with some interesting interviews. In particular, it deals with more than the "big 5" and pays some welcome attention to the Canterbury groups (nice interviews with Robert Wyatt and Mont Campbell).

Highly recommended if you're a fan. If not, and you sometimes wonder what I go on about when I talk prog, here's your chance to do some learnin'.
