 UK based radio station BBC 6 Music are airing a spin-off set of documentaries, based on the fascinating TV series "Seven Ages Of Rock" which is currently being shown on UK TV. The series includes interviews with, and footage of, Pink Floyd throughout the years and has proved to be a fascinating look at the different eras of music.
However, if you've seen the TV series, you'll want to catch the radio series too, as it is said to feature additional material...
BBC 6 Music have taken a specific look at four of the genres covered in the series to bring you a four part documentary. Their documentary features highlights from the TV series as well as extra interviews which aren't shown. They're also offering a 30 minute 'best bits' download, which will be available at their website, for you to download and keep.
The radio series starts on Monday at 9:30pm (BST, which is GMT +1 hour). Here's some detail on the four parts, and when you can hear them:
