For anyone who is interested.
Starting February 11th BBC4 are screening a documentary series called Reggae Britannia which charts the history of reggae music in England from 1968 through to the current day.
There is a good write up in todays Metro newspaper about the forthcoming series and it really does look like it will be great viewing.

It's a great documentary packed full of old archive footage, all about the history of Reggae in the UK. Split into 3x 30min sections but will be aired as 1 show i think. Features Aswad, Big Youth, Dennis Bovell, Muscial Youth, Smiley Culture, Tippa Irie, Boy George!, Eric Clapton, The Police, Specials, Selector+many more...
There will also be 3 other films shown as part of the season, one is a documentary on Toots "Reggae's Got Soul", the other will be footage from the Reggae Britannia concert which takes place at the Barbican on the 11th i think where many of the artists from the film will play. Then the last documentary will be a motage of old archive clips from the BBC. Dying to see this one!
Don't miss it....

There will be hundreds of Regae fans recording these shows all over the UK so i wouldn't worry about that!
I'm sure they will be up online within hours of the broadcast!
