Reasons To Be Cheerful - Ian Dury And The Blockheads

6 Music Wise Woman Diane Morgan chooses a documentary presented by Andy Serkis telling the extraordinary story of Ian Dury and the Blockheads - how a disabled art teacher in his mid-thirties fused punk, funk and incredible lyrics to create some of the most important music of the 70s. Friends and colleagues including Chas Jankel, the Blockheads, Suggs, Phill Jupitus and Ian's son Baxter reflect on a career of 'sex, drugs and rock and roll', from the revolutionary 'New Boots and Panties' through to Ian's early death and the legacy of the Blockheads, as the band continue to tour.
