    Episode 4: Always Ascending

    In the concluding part of Words So Leisured – The Story of Franz Ferdinand: the band's future is once again in jeopardy as Alex Kapranos and Bob Hardy meet in Shetland to try and resolve their differences. It's a fresh era for the group – one of experimentation and collaboration, including the formation of an all-new hybrid outfit with Sparks, FFS. But it's also about change, and fresh energy: two founding members exit, and three enter to usher in a brand new chapter for the band who never stop reinventing. ********** This is the story of a group of pals from Glasgow who formed a band and changed the face of British music forever.

    Episode 3: You Could Have It So Much Better

    Franz Ferdinand's home was now a tour bus, hotel room or venue backstage, as they relentlessly tour the world and perform to thousands of new fans. But the non-stop work also begins to take its toll as they recount a famous night in Paris that almost ends the band. Surreal moments kept on coming for the globe's buzziest new act: from sharing a stage with Black Eyed Peas at The Grammys to meeting David Bowie dressed in disguise. As the accolades roll in and their fan-base grows, they re-enter the studio to make albums 2 and 3: a process of blood, sweat and tears. Quite literally. ********** This is the story of a group of pals from Glasgow who formed a band and changed the face of British music forever.

    Episode 2: A Fire That Burns

    Barely 12 months since they played their first show and Franz Ferdinand emerged from a record company scrum to work on what would become one of the all-time great debut albums. But the making of Franz Ferdinand was not without its challenges. However, those sessions would produce music history – and the band released Take Me Out, a song that would come to define an entire era of British music. Suddenly the four friends would be catapulted from DIY art-school band to global superstars – the beginning of what would become the wildest of rides. ********** This is the story of a group of pals from Glasgow who formed a band and changed the face of British music forever.

    Episode 1: Glasgow

    A bottle of vodka. A fateful house party. A fight. How Franz Ferdinand went from a near-punchup to forming a band within 24 hours. The story of the group's formation is a mix of serendipity and ambition; myth and legend; late-night whiskey drinking and learning to play an instrument on the job. All which led them to play their first gig in pal's Glasgow bedroom – suddenly the city's music scene was abuzz with excitement. Alex, Paul, Nick and Bob even move into their own band HQ – the beautifully disgusting warehouse-cum-venue grandly nicknamed, The Chateau. ********** This is the story of a group of pals from Glasgow who formed a band and changed the face of British music forever.
