Episode 01: Wham Bam Thank You Glam

A look at the nihilist rock 'n' roll forefathers of punk, Warhol & The Velvets,
Iggy & The Stooges, MC5, Glam rock, Roxy, Bolan and Bowie, and the British
Pub rockers and discover why they had such an impact on the young punks-to-be.

Episode 02: Year Zero

New York's punk scene developed from its roots in Warhol's Factory and
The Velvet Underground through to the New York Dolls and venues like
Max's Kansas City. We explore how the now legendary CBGB's evolved
into a seminal punk club, playing host to the likes of Patti Smith,
Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and The Ramones and how the
New York scene informed the nascent London punks.

Episode 03: 1977 Never Get To Heaven

The British cultural revolution that defied authority and confronted
the rock hegemony. This episode focuses on the rise of the Sex Pistols
and other emerging British punk bands such as The Clash, The Damned
and The Buzzcocks and the reaction their exhilarating music and
confrontational behaviour received from the British public.

Episode 04: Take Three Chords

Here we look at the myriad of bands that emerged taking punk's Do It Yourself
ethic literally. This episode also covers the fashion, music and graphics,
looking at designers who developed the punk graphic style; fashion designers
such as Westwood and not forgetting the birth of the fanzine culture.

Episode 05: A Riot Of Your Own

An outraged cry against the rising right wing sentiment in the country and a
counter to National Front marches, organisations like the Anti Nazi League
and Rock Against Racism formed. The band leading the way in energising punk
in a political sense was The Clash, who played an integral role in the
Rock Against Racism movement (as did many other punk groups), taking the
stage alongside groups like Aswad and further cementing the links between
punk and reggae. Anarcho-punk bands like Crass also began to emerge, taking
on board anti-nuclear and vegetarian causes in opposition to the right wing
politics of Oi! Bands. We discuss the political confusion caused by the mass
of ideas thrown into the air by punk.

Episode 06: Typical Girls

Women were finally seen as equal in the punk movement. If you could pick up
a guitar and play it great. If you could sing and form your own band, even
better. Women were finally getting a voice and not just as backing singers.
We look at the women who rocked and discuss the great female punk performers
Siouxsie, The Slits, Pauline Murray, Poly Styrene, Debbie Harry and the
seminal Patti Smith and find out how true the idea that punk emancipated
women from rock's macho posturing really is.

Episode 07: Ridicule Is Nothing To Be Scared Of

The fashion of punk was more important than the music according to some.
The episode looks at Sex and Acme Attractions, the two leading shops
competing with each other on the Kings Road, and the effect they had
influencing punk clones across the country. This episode also looks at
the importance of the punk picture sleeve and how the diy graphic designs
of the time are admired today.

Episode 08: Punx Not Dead

We look at some of the bands that were sniffed at by the punk elders for
being cartoon-like; bands like Charlie Harper's UK Subs, Sham 69, The Ruts,
The Jam, but who dominated the late '70s charts, as well as the different
routes bands took as punk began to splinter.

Episode 09: Independents Days

The post-punk period of '79 - '82 was a time when the provinces really
did rise up and challenge the metropolitan monopoly over music and attempt
to complete punk's apparently failed musical revolution. Labels like
Manchester's Factory, Glasgow's Postcard and London's Rough Trade and
Mute evolved during this time and took the means of production back from
the multinationals. We look at some of the key players from this period.

Episode 10: California Uber Alles

We look at how throughout the '80s and '90s, punk continued to influence
music-making globally, but nowhere more so than America, through
multi-million selling bands like Green Day and Offspring to the punk
in contemporary acts from The Strokes to Limp Bizkit; The White Stripes
to Blink 182.

Set III

Comment
"The Punk Years" Press Release.................

A definitive history of the music that shook the world, looking at the
origins and development of the punk rock movement as a social,
historical, political and musical force. Achieved a record audience
for Play UK on Saturday July 13th 2002.

The Punk Years celebrates punk as a valid musical genre in its own right,
like jazz or blues or soul. Not only Play UK's most watched series ever,
it is also widely acknowledged by long term fans of the genre as the
best-ever series about the music. Appreciative comment focused on the
great cross-section of interviewees and the programme's honesty and
integrity in dealing with a highly contentious, and for many people
emotional and exciting, art form.
