Queens of British Pop

Wednesday 01 April
10:45pm - 11:50pm
BBC1
1/2

There are no surprises in this cheery canter through a roster of British pop queens from the 1970s and 80s, but there are some good old clips and some pretty high-quality talking heads. Such as composer Burt Bacharach, who almost swoons at the mention of the mighty Dusty Springfield, she of the helmet-hair and the voice full of soul. "God, I wish she was around still," says Bacharach, with feeling. Another contributor, Lulu, even has a little cry as she recalls how "sensitive and vulnerable" Springfield was. The idea behind Queens of British Pop is to show us, as if we didn't already know, that today's poptastic divas - Amy Winehouse, Adele and so on - owe much to the singing sisterhood that went before. So, along with Dusty, we are presented with Sandie Shaw (no, I didn't think she was that influential, either), Suzi Quatro and Kate Bush.
