She would go on to win gold, but is what she endures here worth the medal? Smashing Hits! The 80s Pop Map BBC iPLAYER The history of 1980s pop is a well-trodden path on TV, so this three-part series takes a different approach – taking it city by city, beginning with London, Coventry and Sheffield. Midge Ure (Ultravox) and Kim Appleby (Mel and Kim) go on a road trip, and hear some surprising stories along the way. Eric Clapton: Life In 12 Bars BBC iPLAYER When he was just a young boy, the great singer-songwriter turned to music to ‘take the pain away’ of learning that his mother rejected him at birth, and that the people he believed were his parents were actually his grandparents. This compelling and personal film explores the ups and downs in his life.
