Hold on tight for a trip through the BBCâs music archives, exploring the sometimes weird but always wonderful world of the Electric Light Orchestra. The pop pioneersâ futuristic fusion of rock nâ roll and classical arrangements first took off in the 1970s with founder members Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood and Bev Bevan, with Lynne taking on frontman, songwriting and producing responsibilities following Roy Woodâs early departure and turning them into stars all over the world. This programmes brings together the very best of the bandâs performances at the BBC over the years, including hits like 10538 Overture, Donât Bring Me Down, Livinâ Thing, Sweet Talkinâ Woman and, of course, the ever-enduring Mr Blue Sky.
