So it seems in the UK BBC3 have so little to put on the screens of the United Kingdom that they've decided to dig up Bob Marley and do a documentary with him. Brilliant. Some might think they're a bit too late however...
BBC in Marley gaffe
From correspondents in London

A RED-faced BBC has apologised for requesting an interview with Bob Marley, the Jamaican reggae legend who died 24 years ago.
BBC Three, one of the public broadcaster's digital TV channels, sent an e-mail to the Bob Marley Foundation saying it wanted to do a documentary about his hit song No Woman No Cry.
It said the project would involve Marley - who died of cancer in May 1981 at the age of 36 - "spending one or two days with us", and that "it would only work with some participation from Bob Marley himself".
