BBC Four has this on tonight.
Prog Rock Britannia: An Observation in Three Movements
It features Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson and Jethro Tull to the trials and tribulations of lesser-known bands such as Caravan and Egg. The three movements are the birth, the rise and the decline of prog rock.
There were some great guitar players so well worth checking it out.
There is also two more shows for the weekend. A live archive show, Prog Rock at the BBC and an hour long interview with Phil Collins about Genesis.
On Sunday night there is Synth Britannia, charting the rise of post punk new romantics like Gary Numan up to New Order and the Pet Shop Boys.
