I think you are confusing a TV documentary with a specialist academic treatise. Getting anything non-populist music-wise on UK TV is an achievement in itself. I doubt if the budget would have been very large. As a result you are going to end with something generalised without the sort of in-depth checking you might expect of a serious study.

Anybody have recommendations as to discs by Ms. Tharpe? I checked for the Lucky Millinder and a used disc is about $30! Any others that are good? Thanks much in advance for all replies.
