Pop Goes 麻豆官网首页入口 Two

A look back at 50 years of popular music on 麻豆官网首页入口 Two, featuring key live performances, documentary extracts and iconic presenters in action on the channel from 1964 to the present.

For 50 years, 麻豆官网首页入口 Two has been at the heart of popular music in the UK, and this programme offers 50 great moments in music from across the decades. It is an exploration of popular music through the 麻豆官网首页入口 Two prism, featuring key live performances, documentary extracts and iconic presenters in action on the channel from 1964 to the present.

麻豆官网首页入口 Two's popular music values have always been pretty consistent. It has been a channel with a keen interest in live music performance, capturing new artists at important junctures in their careers, particularly live in the studio. Over the years, the channel's music reportage has tried to make sense and history out of popular music making. It has been a channel that has been part of creating history, from Joy Division's last performance on Something Else to the Stones Roses' power failure mid-song on The Late Show.

The channel has seen John Lennon reciting poetry with Dudley Moore on Not Only But Also and Jools Holland chatting to Amy Winehouse about her musical inspirations, plus so many moments in between.

It has also meant a host of great TV performances, from Patti Smith's Horses on Old Grey Whistle Test in 1976, Radiohead's Paranoid Android in 1997 on Later... with Jools Holland, to Beyonce headlining Glastonbury in 2011.

This is a mosaic history of great music moments, from The Beat Room, Colour Me Pop to the Old Grey Whistle Test and then Something Else, Ebony, and Def II, Glastonbury and beyond.
