In 1973, Sweet were the subject of a documentary All That Glitters for BBC Schools series Scene. Being intended for “educational purposes,” the program had to pose a relevant topic for debate among its teenage audience—in this case, “Is the music business really that glamorous?” Over a period of two to three days, Scene followed the band members Brian Connolly (vocals), Steve Priest (bass/coals), Andy Scott (guitar) and Mick Tucker (drums) as they rehearsed for a Top of the Pops appearance (which led to an outcry over Priest’s Nazi outfit) and their (now hailed as “legendary”) Christmas show at London’s Rainbow Theater.

BBC Schools documentary about the successful British rock band The Sweet, their riches and the price of fame. Charting 24 hours in the life of a rock band that asks the question: "Is the music business really that glamorous?" The show contains live material shot on the 21st December 1973 during their legendary concert in the Rainbow Theatre, London.
