A BBC documentary examining British music in America debuted on British television last week. How The Brits Rocked America: Go West is divided into 3-hourlong episodes. Episode 1, How The West Was Won focuses on 60's artists, Episode 2, Stairway To Heaven examines the 70's scene, and Episode 3, We're The Kids In America looks at the 80's.
So far the first two episodes have debuted on the BBC and the third episode is scheduled to debut this Friday night. Episode 3 reportedly features The Cure, The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen and other 80's artists, and hopefully it'll be uploaded to YouTube. For now you can watch the first two episodes of the documentary below:
