Anyone been watching this? Last night's was great. Some amazing footage of Les Paul, T Bone Walker, Charlie Christian and Hendrix.

There was also an amusing edit that cut from the Spinal Tap 'Sustain' scene to Mark Knopfler showing off his personal collection.

Yentob looks backwards, so I googled Botney and I found http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=botney :-/

I've been watching, although the first week I felt that I'd been tricked into watching a schools programme instead of the AAAARRRRGHHH LOUD-LOUD-LOUD JIMI BURNS HIS GUITAR shred fest that I was expecting.
The extra clips on the BBC website are good - especially Iggy's predictions of doom ("the digitalisation of money is all going to collapse")

The first one wasn't as entertaining, no, although that dude from Circulus was impressively skilled with instruments of yore.
