Have you seen it?
No, I haven't caught up on that programme yet ... it's a shame, though, that instead of choosing one of the many great songs Queen had, they go with one of the worst ones.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
It's about breaking out of a fortress, so it's rather suitable. But yeah, the song kinda sucks.
I found it great. Hahahahaha
It was relevant to the plot and the voice carries strong on that song.

That was the third time Queen were on TV that evening . First Milton Keynes concert was on Sky Arts . Then I flicked to the darts . We are the Champions got blasted out as the tournament was won . Then Break Free on Sherlock.

I dare say they were on a few ads as well.

Almost too popular.
They should've used Leaving Holmes Ain't Easy.
Radio Ga Ga will be used in "Trainspotting 2". I don't know what place in the movie but it's on the soundtrack compilation. Also "You're My Best Friend" was used in the animation movie "Pets"

Trainspotting 2!! Did not know that was in the making.
I watched the original during my growing-up years. Its impact on me was immense and shaped my taste in films in a big way.

Or Moriarty Of That Jazz. Both produced by Roy Thomas 221b Baker Street.

I'm going to have to pick up the comment that IWTBF is one of the worst Queen songs.
IWTBF is one of my least favorite Queen song to be honest
When I was first getting into Queen, IWTBF was one of my favorite songs (maybe because it was on the radio all the time), but yes, it's one of their weakest.
