Television: Don Letts’ Subculture

Author:

I’m among the interviewees featured in Subculture, Don Letts’ Channel 4 documentary about post-War British street style, the first part of which aired for the first time last night.

Others include Jeff Dexter, Robert Elms, Norman Jay, Lloyd Johnson and Peter York.

If a little blokey itself (it is sponsored by Fred Perry), the doc spritzes this well-worn subject matter with a fast-paced approach and includes great archive footage of Windrush stylers, Teds, rockers, beatniks and ravers.

View on 4OD here (doesn’t work outside UK).
