The First Time With Goldfrapp

Alison Goldfrapp and her musical partner Will Gregory discuss their musical milestones with Matt Everitt. First broadcast in 2011.

Alison Goldfrapp and her musical partner Will Gregory share their musical milestones in conversation with Matt Everitt.

As Goldfrapp, the pair have been responsible for some of the most original and influential pop music in recent history - forming a blueprint for contemporary electro pop that has since become ubiquitous.

Matt traces the key moments in the duo's career - from Alison's formative years as a stage-struck singer with Orbital and Tricky through to how the couple forged a musical marriage that blended Carmina Burana and Kraftwerk - and onto Alison's emergence as truly singular frontwoman - combining their music with a theatricality and visual flair rarely seen since Bowie's heyday.

First broadcast in 2011.
