Question for Marky: I dialled up the documentary DOA this morning and was curious whether you knew anything about Terry Sylvester and the Idiots. I don't gather they ever formally recorded anything, but do you know if he went on to anything else or was this his very brief moment of quasi-fame?

They literally formed for that movie and split up a couple of days after the filming. I don't know if Terry did anything else but the bassist Malcolm Joseph went on to play with Massive Attack and Neneh Cherry.

Ha, that's great. Some combination of manufactured group and punk improv.

I hate that segment in the movie and Terry just comes across as a total moron.

He was chief idiot, which may or may not be a compliment.
