Bowie Tunes On Bbc's British Style Genius Documentary

I was walking down the high street…

BBC Two has just launched a new five-part documentary series called British Style Genius. If you’re interested in the evolution of British fashion from the late sixties to the present day, it’s well worth a watch.

The first episode, High Street, featured three Bowie songs on the well-researched soundtrack: Drive-In Saturday, Boys Keep Swinging and The Prettiest Star.

Iggy Pop‘s The Passenger and Lou Reed‘s I’m So Free (both Bowie productions) also featured, not to mention The Pixies‘ Cactus.

British Style Genius is broadcast on Tuesday evenings in the UK on BBC Two at 9:00pm.

Those with access to the BBC iPlayer can watch the first episode online here.
