'Steve Jobs: iChanged the World' documentary airs tonight on UK's Channel 4 (and on PBS in the US)

A note to our UK readers that Channel 4's documentary Steve Jobs: iChanged the World will air tonight at 11:05 PM local time. That's about an hour and a half from now, so set your DVRs. From Channel 4's description:

Through interviews with the people who Steve Jobs knew and who worked closely with him over the years, Steve Jobs: iChanged the World takes an unflinching look at his difficult, controlling reputation, and offers a unique insight into what made him tick.

In a never-before-broadcast, rare interview, Steve Jobs expounds his own philosophy of life, and offers advice to us all on changing our own lives to achieve our ambitions, our desires and our dreams. Steve looked back over his astonishing career and explained the principles on which he built his success.

The same documentary will also air in the US tonight on PBS with the title Steve Jobs – One Last Thing. PBS will air the documentary at 10 PM Eastern and again at 10 PM Pacific.

Based on the content, production and those horrible powerpoint "like" chapter slides, I think Steve would Disapprove!

Agreed. The narration comes off much more like some kind of sensationalistic cable channel documentary rather than the kind of thoughtful and smart content one would expect from the BBC and PBS. The extremely cheesy production only adds to this.

Not great.

The 'rare interview' was just a 2min snippet of him saying how individuals should realise they can go against the grain of perceived wisdom and push for their own way; something he realised early on in his life.

Apart from a couple of brief glimpses, the rest was boring stuff we all already know about from other outlets.

In short, move-along, no big insights given here. (Those are more likely to happen in several books various people are likely to release over the next year or so, so they can earn a few bucks ;-)

Also just watched it in UK - it was OK but not great. If you've followed Jobs and Apple you knew it all already but it was cool to see some of the lesser-known people from his life talk about him. Cringely told the same old stories, Walt Mossberg was engaging and Will.i.am looked as confused about why he was there as we all were...

I'd love to see this. Any idea how I could get to view this in Australia? Internet streaming?

It's on the Channel 4 on demand (4OD) site. I have a feeling that this might be restricted to UK viewers, but worth a try:

Being in the UK, it works for me :-)
