- Title: Marc Bolan
- Date: 16th September 1997
- Description:The first film to tell the full story of Marc Bolan's turbulent life,twenty years after the glamster died in a car crash in Barnes. Gloria Jones,Bolan's partner and the driver of the mini that night,has never spoken in public before and there will be interviews with his son Rolan and his confidant and publicist Keith Altham. Altham has a lot of previously unseen footage in addition to those great Top of the Pops appearances,the Ringo Star film Born to Boogie,and the six part tv series on Bolan's career completed just days before he died. Current Britpop stars like Oasis,Blur and Supergrass talk about the influence of T-Rex,as well as earlier generations of artists like The Smiths and David Bowie. This film will bring back the heady days of Ride a White Swan,Get It On and Deborah and prove just how fab the seventies really were. . .
