An evening of programmes about the celebrated American rock performer Jimi Hendrix.

9.00 Reputations: Jimi Hendrix - the Man They Made God
Both a barnstorming showman and a misfit, Jimi Hendrix was a jumble of contradictions. A black guitarist ensnared by the trappings of fame that a white audience had given him, he became an icon of peace but adopted a pro-military stance. Friends and fellow musicians remember Hendrix against the backdrop of footage from the guitarist's short life.

10.00 Picture This: Hallelujah Hendrix.
In September 1997, English Heritage erected one of their Blue Plaques to the memory of Hendrix at his former London home, 23 Brook Street.
This documentary, showing in the strand of films by new directors, recounts the story of the plaque - from the initial idea by Hendrix's sometime girlfriend Kathy Etchingham to the eventual unveiling by Who guitarist Pete Townshend.
