Britpop akımı, İngiltere’de 90’ların başında patlak vermişti. Sürekli yeni grupların piyasaya çıktığı bu dönemde parlayan rock’n roll yıldızları, tabii ki İngiltere’nin sağlam alternatif müzik geçmişini referans olarak alıyordu. 24 Saat Parti İnsanları da bu sağlam geçmişin en parlak dönemini, 80’ler Manchester’ında doğan Sex Pistols, The Jam, Joy Division ve Happy Mondays gibi efsane grupların öyküsünü anlatıyor. Fakat bu bir rock belgeseli değil. Olaylar, 80’lerde Manchester’da bir plak şirketi ve bir de gece kulübü kurmuş olan, televizyon muhabiri Tony Wilson’ın gözünden aktarılıyor. Floransa’nın Rönesans’ta yaşadıklarını, Manchester’ın 80’lerde yaşadığını söyleyen Tony Wilson, seks, uyuşturucu, rock’n roll üçgenine yataklık yapmış Manchester gecelerini yaratan kişilerden biri olarak anlatıyor öyküsünü. 24 Saat Parti İnsanları, konserlerden arşiv görüntüleri, insanı coşturan müzikleri, stilize kostüm ve set tasarımı ile seyirciyi 80’lerin Manchester’ına götürüyor.

John Peel's Record Box is a documentary film made by Elaine Shepherd, released on 14 November 2005 on Channel 4. It was nominated for Primetime Emmy Award. It is about a small private collection of the British radio DJ John Peel who died in 2004 at the age of 65. Peel's main archive contained more than 100,000 vinyl records and CDs. This smaller private collection, however, contains 143 singles - some of them doublettes - stored in a private wooden box representing some of his personal favourites. According to the documentary, there are no singles by Peel's favorite group, The Fall, because he kept them in a separate box. The film features interviews with John's wife Sheila Ravenscroft, radio DJs and artists like Mary Anne Hobbs, Sir Elton John, Ronnie Wood, Roger Daltrey, Fergal Sharkey, Jack White, Michael Palin and Miki Berenyi.
