Title: Present Day Composer Refuses to Die and A&E Biography
Quality: A

Comments: BBC documentary on the life and work of Frank Zappa. There is a lot of cool footages with bandmates (Ian Underwood, Georges Duke, Bruce Fowler, Tom Fowler), some family members (Gail Zappa, Dwezill Zappa, etc.) and other collaborators (such as Pierre Boulez, the well known French orchestra conductor).  This is followed by Frank Bio after his passing on A&E.
