The film arrives – somewhat terrifyingly – 25 years after the release of their enormously successful first record, Suede. Drawing on the band’s extensive personal archives alongside new interviews (including with Ricky Gervais, who was part of the group’s management team), it charts Suede’s birth, their success and excess, the strains that led to their split in 2003 and their recent reunion.

The one-off film was conceived by director Mike Christie, who has been working with the band since he produced a recording of their on-stage collaboration with film-maker Derek Jarman in 1993. In the words of lead vocalist Brett Anderson, “He’s been there with us almost from day one, pointing a damned camera in our faces.”

Anderson added: “It’s a film that grasps at the very essence of what the band is, charting the scruffy inglorious years of struggle, the vertiginous heights of success and the dank depths of self-destruction and hopefully emerges at the end of it all with some truths revealed and some myths destroyed.”

All that and some incredible songs. So revisit the past with this absorbing documentary on Sky Arts.
