Women were finally seen as equal in the punk movement. If you could pick up a guitar and play it - great. If you could sing and form your own band, even better. Women were finally getting a voice and not just as backing singers. We look at the women who rocked and discuss the great female punk performers - Siouxsie, The Slits, Pauline Murray, Poly Styrene, Debbie Harry and the seminal Patti Smith - and find out how true the idea that punk emancipated women from rock's macho posturing really is.
Programme 7: Ridicule Is Nothing To Be Scared Of
The fashion of punk was more important than the music according to some. The episode looks at Sex and Acme Attractions, the two leading shops competing with each other on the Kings Road, and the effect they had influencing punk clones across the country. This episode also looks at the importance of the punk picture sleeve and how the diy graphic designs of the time are admired today.
Programme 8: Punx Not Dead
We look at some of the bands that were sniffed at by the punk elders for being cartoon-like; bands like Charlie Harper's UK Subs, Sham 69, The Ruts, The Jam - but who dominated the late '70s charts, as well as the different routes bands took as punk began to splinter.
