At the BBC S2023E26 - Blondie at the BBC

When Blondie first exploded onto the music scene with their debut UK hit Denis they were an immediate sensation and instantly embraced by the British record-buying public. Debbie Harry's inimitable cool, and the band's pioneering new-wave, New York sound made them one of the most significant bands of the era - and gave them an impressive six number one singles. This programme take a trip through the BBC archives to sample the best of Blondie over the years, with appearances from the late-1970s up to recent times featuring performances of songs including Call Me, Atomic, Picture This, Rapture and The Tide Is High.
