Sounds of the Seventies
22.00, BBC2
Been a good series, this, mixing old favourites with some fascinating oddities, including last week’s fantastic X-Ray Spex performance from what appeared to be a Welsh language programme (well, you could barely understand what Poly Styrene was singing in English, maybe they thought it was Welsh), performing in front of some posters with their name spelt wrong and an audience consisting of five people, though they were clearly really enjoying it. Last one tonight and it’s that new rock phenomenon again, new wave. We’ll never tire of that line.
