This programme features the unsung, radically unconventional hero in archive interviews and performances. Contributors include Harvey-inspired popular artists Richard O'Brien , Billy Connolly , Noddy Holder Lulu and Jim Kerr , with further input from biographer
Martin Kielty , Harvey's widow Trudy, and band members Zal Cleminson , Ted McKenna and Chris Glen.
