BBC4, 22:50 Friday night (12/04/19):
Rock 'n' Roll Britannia
50s Britannia Episode 1 of 3
Documentary about the pre-Beatles rock era, when the likes of Lord Rockingham's XI, Vince Taylor and Cliff Richard and The Shadows created a unique copy of American rock 'n' roll.
There's a veiled insult in the programme description which doesn't bode well, but at least there's an effort to reflect the fact there was life before Beatlemania.
