Obviously I respect to your superior knowledge. Asking a different question, where would you end the story? Now that is a very interesting question. I think to try and tell the whole 50 years is a mistake as a single feature. A TV mini series would be better for that. Going by Hello Quo, I found the 60s to the split the most interesting for both the music and how showbiz and success affects people. I think would end it with Spud walking out of the studio. |

I understand why, cos you're thinking in terms of the sound of the live band and how it changed from then on. I suppose you'd have a caption or 2 at the end covering the rest? To make a biopic, you need to see the story from characters' pov and that might well feel unfinished if you ended it there. |

As you have said the problem is... It's just so long. 30 years since Alan was no longer in the band. There is just too much. If I wanted a high point to end the film. Expecting a sequel. I'd finish it with them going on stage at Glasgow Apollo in 76. Ending with Francis saying How y doing... |

(with a zoom in on a young teenage fan, who would later say, in years to come, "I was there, did I ever mention that."  ) |

Wouldn't the best way to tell the Status Quo Story be to present it as a Pantomime?!

You're quite right, CG - Flame isn't a biopic but it is a cracking film. It's arguably the best rock film ever made, see it if you can. It wasn't the jolly glam caper everybody expected - & all the better for it! Sounds really good dennis. Thanks I will check it out. Great film.It was a big surprise when I saw it.In 2007, BBC film critic Mark Kermode called it the "Citizen Kane of rock musicals. |

It will end with Alan going on the airplane to Oz when they had finished the End of the road tour.

I think would end it with Spud walking out of the studio. A better ending, despite being fiction, would be Spud kicking Rossi right in the baws and shouting: "COP YER WHACK FOR THAT, YA FECKIN WAALLOPER!!!" Could yet happen! |
