In this new 2-part series presented by Chrissie Hynde, Radio 2 examines the musical legacy of one of Britain's most consistently inventive bands, The Kinks.

We hear the truth about the fights, the cabaret, and the wrecked hotel rooms during interviews with Ray and Dave Davies, other band members and colleagues in the industry including Pete Townshead, Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher. Plus we hear the stories behind the great hits, the magnificent flops and the huge influence The Kinks have had on generations of music.

f people let me know other non-BBC TOTP clips that they have found, we can hopefully make this page have them all.


I hope so! A big thank you, Steve for putting all these clips up on your site. It's very handy for those of us who don't have access to the relevant programmes to be able to see the non-BBC TOTP clips, and all in the one place too.

That Middle of the Road clip was particularly good picture quality. Do you currently have any other TOTP performances from Disco which could be uploaded at some stage?


Nope - all the ones I have are there. It's up to the people here who have other ones whether they want to share them or not. There are 750 VHS tapes of pop stuff behind me as I speak, but it's all "official" stuff, apart from what I have uploaded.
