(TeamRock Radio) The BBC have defended their decision to include shamed impresario Jonathan King in the upcoming Genesis documentary Together And Apart. King was jailed in 2001 for four indecent assaults and two serious sexual offences on teenage boys. He was released four years later.

The film features Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett speaking together about the band's history, alongside unseen archive material. It's to be broadcast on BBC2 on October 4 at 9.15pm.
