December 23, 2017: The highly anticipated XTC documentary “XTC
This is POP”, was broadcast by Sky Arts in October (a petition
earlier in the year was circulated to convince BBC to air it). Andy Partridge
says, "There may well be a DVD later, yes, if they can get clearances from
everyone that owns a slice of us." Steven Wilson says, "I was very honoured to
be invited to appear in a feature length documentary about one of my all time
favourite bands XTC. . . Directed by Charlie Thomas . . . this is a very
serious (but also funny) telling of the story of one of the most creative and
intelligent, but also quintessentially English bands to have ever existed."
Showtime USA will be showing the documentary on January 11, 2018, at 7PM.

Chalkhills is a web resource dedicated to XTC
(the now defunct band). Peruse Chalkhills to find a wealth of information about
XTC, their music and recordings, and much more. Chalkhills was
created by me, John Relph, and is infrequently
updated (I am often busy with other things) so check back often. Chalkhills
was the longest extant XTC mailing list, created in April 1989 as an offshoot
of the venerable Love-Hounds list and killed off (in a bizarre kitchen
accident, of course) in August 2014. Chalkhills is the longest extant XTC web
site, first hacked together in May 1994, although FTP archives were first made
available in April 1991.
