Extra note: Phil Collins long time PA Annie Callingham was interviewed for the documentary but didnt make the final edit.
All in all a really good documentary which if you include the extra’s will teach even the most ardent fan something new… watch out for Danny Gillen and Steve Jones joking during the extra’s interview.
