Absolute tripe - having lived through punk, having BEEN a punk, it's hilarious seeing Captain Sensible and Siouxie trying to reinvent themselves as some sort of pioneering force, leading the charge of a sexual revolution, when in reality they were some way off that particular mark. And Toyah Wilcox reminiscing about the meaning of punk whilst looking like a very glamorous housewife - words fail me.

The progamme contended that Bowie was the man who defined the decade; this may be true to the musos, but look at what was actually bought - this was the decade of the Nolan Sisters, ferchrissakes. That was pop music, not Bowie, not punk.
