Blondie When Blondie Came To Britain 18th November 2023

First broadcast: Saturday 18th November 2023, 21:00 on BBC Two HD In 1977, a small and relatively unknown group called Blondie arrived in Bournemouth ahead of their first ever UK tour. This is the story of the key part Britain played in helping break one of the worlds most influential bands and examines a special relationship that has endured for nearly 50 years. Featuring rare and unseen archive material including photographs taken by guitarist Chris Stein this documentary charts Blondies rise from that first student union gig in Bournemouth, supported by Squeeze (including a 19yearold Jools Holland) through to 2023 and an unforgettable performance on Glastonburys iconic Pyramid Stage.
