Pop band Pulp have been making music since the early eighties, but they had to wait until 1995 before achieving idol status with their hit album Common People.
Tonight's documentary follows the band on tour around Britain over a period of three weeks, culminating in their triumphant homecoming to Sheffield City Hall, and shows them dealing with stardom with a mixture of bewilderment and style.

No Sleep till Sheffield - Pulp Go Public
6.45pm BBC2
Throughout the eighties and half of the nineties, Pulp were a second division band of indie also-rans, doomed, it seemed, for obscurity. This year has changed all that with two number one singles and a number one album, and has seen singer Jarvis Cocker's emergence as a media superstar.
Tonight's film catches the band in mid-tour, musing on sex, stardom and life in hotel rooms. "I now have an opportunity to make a lot of money," says the charismatic Cocker. "I could present some game show and turn into Tarby 2. There's a great deal of potential for me to become the saddest person of 1996. Nobody is immune."
