 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1996-??-??


 * Comments
 * (Richard): A R1 documentary written and narrated by the man himself to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the punk revolution back in 1996. I think it is an important artifact since Peel always understood what Punk was really about - namely the breaking down of the barriers for countless outsider artists, rather than the 3 chords, gobbing and safety pins. It should be prescribed listening to anyone who ventures the opinion that Green Day are Punk.


 * Guests include Siouxsie Sioux, Billy Bragg, Pete Shelley, Annie Nightingale, Mark Perry, Alan McGee, Mark Stanley (V2), Arthur (Lurkers), Vic Goddard (Subway Sect), Chrissie Hynde, Winston Blake (Anti-Nowhere League), Paul Morley (NME), Don Letts, Poly Styrene (X-Ray Spex), Geoff Travis (Rough Trade).
