Seven Ages of Rock, BBC2 Documentary, Vol 7 : What The Wor

Set 1
The journey through the history of rock music climaxes with a focus on British Indie music. Although once associated with social misfits seeking refuge from the bright processed pop then dominating the charts, The Smiths' first Top of the Pops appearance in 1983 paved the way for the hugely influential Madchester music scene. However, it was the iconoclastic influence of Suede and intense media attention in the Blur-Oasis chart battles in the nineties that brought Britpop to a wider audience. Revealing interviews and rarely seen archive offers an insight into the story which ends with the recent reinvention of Indie by bands like The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand and The Arctic Monkeys.
