Maybe you're mixing it up with another prog doc done a couple of years before which they dug up to show again on BBC 4 with the Britannia one. That had John Peel having his traditional pop at ELP, plus someone called Paul Stump being snootily dismissive of the band. Stump was particularly annoying. He was billed a a "Prog Expert" but seemed to actually dislike the genre and not even know that much about it.

 

Yeah your right. There have been so many programmes about prog I get confusedLOL

My favourite thing about that doc was Arthur Brown being the awesomest crazy old man ever

 I just started a thread a few days ago , to get SOB in the top 100, or even the top 10 here.  Interesting coincidence that this thread was also posted at the same time.   If you haven't voted, do so, and with gusto.
