Paul Sexton looks at Bolan's life, music and legacy with the help of a stellar, extensive cast list of friends, family and collaborators.

The programme charts Bolan's long and sometimes painful journey from the streets of Hackney in north London, via early unsuccessful singles in his own name, to the rise of the glam rock star as the frontman of T-Rex.

This documentary first broadcast on Radio 2 in 2007.
