Glastonbury

BBC2, iplayer

Most of us don’t make the annual pilgrimage to Glastonbury but this year obviously felt a little different.at least with previous years we had the option.

The BBC put together a greatest hits package for Glasto last weekend and it’s worth checking out if you haven’t already. Hosted by the excellent Lauren Laverne, Beyonce from 2011 and Pulp from 1995 were particular favourites. But it was David Bowie’s set from 20 years ago which was the Sunday-night highlight.

For a couple of hours it felt like Bowie was back and, more importantly, everything was all right.

The power of television was laid bare when footage of Rodney King being beaten by police in Los Angeles made headlines in 1992, sparking riots.
