Words So Leisured – The Story Of Franz Ferdinand
This is the story of a group of pals from Glasgow who formed a band and changed the face of British music forever. Narrated by comedian and Franz Ferdinand mega-fan Rose Matafeo, Words So Leisured hears the band revisit their extraordinary journey along with contributions from their friends, collaborators and those they've inspired. This four-part mini-series – formed of all new, exclusive interviews – charts their career from playing in friends' bedrooms to The Grammys: takes in the pinch-yourself highs and sometimes dramatic lows. Words So Leisured is made by New Allotment for Domino.
