Why would they mention Wicked in any great detail. It's hardly a ground breaking show. Yes, but it's successful and (if you pardon the pun) popular |

There's no doubt it both those things, but so are many other shows.
This series focused on shows that in some way changed the sound or look of musical theatre in some way and Wicked did neither of those.

And only the most fleeting mention of Kander and Ebb, whose songs are pretty darn brilliant.

Yes i can't think why there wasn't a fourth episode. Not necessarily about jukebox musicals because that doesn't fir the programme but there seems something a bit wrong if one the newest musicals they got to was Avenue Q. They didn't even really get to Wicked, other than a few mentions through the show. The BBC's documentary unit in Bristol is subject to major cuts. We were lucky to get three episodes. It was on a pretty tight budget |

Why would they mention Beckham? By that token they didn't mention Moby Dick, Which Witch and Daddy Cool either!! They also failed to mention Bend It Like Beckham. Swings and roundabouts.. |

Whilst enjoyable, I thought this didn't bring anything new to light at all. And the only new thing was a handful of cheesy musical performances.
