Television: Don Letts’ Subculture
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.
