Great find. Keen to get my ears around some of this. A four part punk series has just started on Patternradio.net, hosted by. Mark Hepworth. The first episode starts in the late fifties and goes up to the mid 70's. It was a great listen, I restreamed on Mixcloud if that's your kinda thing.
Oh, and they didn't ignore Australia.
Yes to Hercules Returns. I let people know that if they're going to watch it to stick through the first 20 minutes. It's pretty terrible at the start.
