    It’s a fascinating portrait of a complex man’s imperfect attempt to solve an impossible problem.

    Live Aid is a great pop story, but it was also a response to a terrible human tragedy. The BBC’s excellent film never loses sight of that fact.

    I feared three hours, covering Band Aid, Live Aid and its 2005 successor, Live 8, would be too long but it is fresh, multifaceted and zesty, serving up a nostalgic slice of British politics through the lens of pop with a high calibre of talking heads, not least Birhan Woldu, the little girl we saw dying before our eyes on news footage back then but who survived and, now aged 44, appeared in the film with her father.
