Vintage rock, pop and soul from the BBC archives.
America had its own punk phenomenon. Nobody could say what it was, what it sounded like, or when it started, but it became known as "new wave".
Many of the leading names played on The Old Grey Whistle Test throughout the decade, winding up with a glimpse of "the future of rock and roll" - the Boss himself.
Tonight's performances include Alice Cooper singing Under My Wheels (from 1971), the New York Dolls with Jet Boy (1973), Horses from Patti Smith (1976), Iggy Pop's I'm Bored (1979), the Ramones and Don't Come Close (1978), Blondie singing Presence Dear (1978), Psycho-Killer from Talking Heads (1978), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with American Girl (1977), and Bruce Springsteen singing Rosalita (1979).

Last in the series of feature-length documentaries. Titicut Follies
The world television premiere of Frederick Wiseman 's startling documentary film, banned for 24 years. Made in 1967, this masterly and chilling portrait of the hideous treatment of inmates at the Bridgewater
State Hospital for the criminally insane is the only film in American history to be banned for reasons other than obscenity. The accuracy of the scenes was never questioned - the State of Massachusetts was embarrassed at what the film showed, portraying as it did in graphic detail the daily life of the inmates, guards and psychiatrists in this prison. Series editor
Andre Singer comments: "It is amazing how contemporary Fred Wiseman 's Hogarthian vision of the prison is." The film has no titles, narration, music or explicit commentary.

Susan Traheme returns to Britain haunted by her experiences as a resistance fighter in occupied France. Life seems unbearably dull, but Susan's rage against mediocrity and her attempts to find fulfilment are destined not only to damage her own life, but to alter irreparably the lives of those around her.
