This 40 minute documentary was aired by BBC TV on November 15, 1994, just before the broadcast of the Earl's Court show filmed a few weeks before, on October 20. Even if the documentary was produced at the time of the Division Bell tour (Roger Waters refused to bo interviewed for that program), the post-Waters era is only briefly mentioned (during the last 2 minutes). The rest is focused on the band's history with Waters.

The documentary not only features interviews with the 3 Pink Floyd members of the time, but it also includes interesting interviews with a lot of people closely related to the band: Andrew King, Joe Boyd, Mike Leonard, Storm Thorgerson, Ron Geesin, Clare Torry, Douglas Adams...

It also contains rare archival footage such as extracts from 1968 Tomorrow's World program, and a very unique film showing the band recording Marooned in Gilmour's houseboat studio, the Astoria, with Bob Ezrin playing the bass (this recording session is only shown very briefly, and mainly in a small incrusted image during the ending credits; this rare footage was used, in slight slow motion and full screen, for the DVD menus).

For this DVD, This Place Records used a Master PAL VHS tape, directly recorded from the BBC TV broadcast.
