The Big Day (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

On 3rd June 1990, Glasgow's Year of Culture, the city celebrated its association with music in an event called The Big Day, live at various venues across Glasgow including, Glasgow Green, George Square and Custom House Quay. Broadcast on Channel 4 and hosted by City Lights star Gerard Kelly, the line up included The Silencers, Sheena Easton, Big Country, Hue and Cry, Wet Wet Wet and, topping the bill at the Green, Deacon Blue. The central theme on the day was Homelessness. Included in this film are the stories of some of these homeless people.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
