Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Four Autumn 2007
Pop On Trial season
Pop Britannia
Μύ
Pop Britannia investigates what makes our pop music "British", from the birth of British pop after the Second World War up until the present day. It examines the growth of big business, generations of youthful revolution, the influence of counterculture and how and when British pop has taken America by storm.
Μύ
It also considers the domination of the charts by successive generations of star makers and the fight back by art students with their constantly evolving expressions of pop.
Μύ
The series features archive footage and a leading list of contributors including Pete Townshend, Damon Albarn, Sir Cliff Richard, Alex Kapranos, Neil Tennant and Bryan Ferry.
