I was really enjoying this series on BBC4 until the third episode which centred on post-punk and didn't give any mention to the Liverpool scene at all! Shocking! What do other people think of this series?

It was a good show, although seemed to be going off too much on a tangent towards the end (New Romantics and Two Tone) rather than focusing on stuff you'd think they would have done, like the Bunnymen, U2, etc. Blame Will for the no Liverpool scene. In that recent interview off Liz Kershaw's radio show, he said that the BBC asked him to be on the programme to which he replied something along the lines of "meh, I'm washing me hair'.
