Two of the most influential bands in music history.

No one else sounds like Joy Division had created their own sound.

It was an industrial, almost helpless, hopeless scenario

that I listened to over and over and over.

There was a cold beauty about it that really touched me.

One incredible tale.

Well, some of the crowd are on the pitch.

Coming up in the final episode of the season, New Order stare into the abyss.

When I was doing stuff with New Order, I felt like it was being hit with a stick.

But just when they think it's all over. Bernard went one way,

and learnt how to write, you know, TV tunes.

And that was it.

And we've never heard from him.

So when was it?

Oh, the World Cup.
