Ultimate Cover Versions at the BBC

The pop cover has proved a remarkably imaginative and durable form, and this 60-year compilation tracks this pop alchemy at its finest and most intriguing through material sought from the BBC archives. Footage includes artists as diverse as the Moody Blues, Soft Cell, Alexandra Burke, Mariah Carey and UB40 scoring chart hits that are, in some cases, perhaps even better than the original

Ultimate Cover Versions at the BBC airs on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD at 10:50 PM, Saturday 9 November. (Subtitles, repeat.)
