Bob Harris interviews folk-pop singer/songwriter Donovan (born Donovan Leitch), who in 1965 emerged as something of a British response to Bob Dylan before forging a successful career as a purveyor of hippy-dippy, distinctively gentle psychedelic pop. His quintessentially 60s hits include Catch the Wind, Colours,
Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow and Hurdy Gurdy Man. The programme recalls the media's early - and ill-conceived - dismissal of Donovan as a Dylan clone, his heyday with producer Mickie Most. and his 1968 trip to India with the Beatles to see the Maharishi. Plus new interviews with Billy Bragg, guitarist Bert Jansch, Ready Steady Go! producer Elkan Allan and music producer Joe Boyd. Producer Jo Wheeler
