The Whistle Test Years

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Bob Harris presents a new six-part series to mark the 30th anniversary of the Old Grey Whistle Test, the BBC rock programme which featured studio sessions and interviews in an atmosphere far removed from today's hyper, designer approach. This first instalment recalls early peaks, including a more pensive Elton John and David Bowie in Ziggy Stardust mode. Producer Dave Barber
