Malcolm McLaren's Life and Times in LA: A Radio Movie

BBC Radio 2

Post the Punk era in London, Sex Pistols legend, Malcolm McLaren visited Los Angeles on a promotional tour that should have lasted a few days, but he was “utterly and hopelessly seduced” by the city and ended up staying for four years.  In this radio-movie he tells a very personal and funny story, flecked with his own contemporary observations of the city.

"McLaren's occasional forays on to Radio 2 are never anything less than magnificent... a monlogist extraordinaire" The Guardian

"A natural-born storyteller" The Times
