Barrett was not widely known, but the praise lavished on his recorded output reveals he is regarded as unique. Former Pink Floyd band members talk about Barrett's working methods, and the programme also explores his strange solo output and discovers why Syd's stare beamed down from articles, magazines and news reports as the media went about romanticising a reclusive music figure.
