Martin Kemp, Matt Goss, Dave davies, Phil Everly, Mark Knopfler's brother David and the Campbell brothers of UB40 contribute to a look at siblings who have fronted rock bands. From the Everlys to Oasis, these are the bands of brothers who became household names - often with a price to pay.

This documentary about sibling rivalry within rock groups is entertaining, particularly for those of us who remember bands such as Dire Straits, the Kinks, UB40, Sparks and Spandau Ballet. Each band gets a section to itself, and the programme is stuffed with archive and interviews, both with the siblings and with their contemporaries. It's fascinating stuff, but don't expect a stream of vitriol. Even the siblings who have every reason to feel bitter don't show it on screen. Perhaps blood really is thicker than water.
