Samira Ahmed documentary: "The Story of 'I Dressed Ziggy Stardust'"

I have been looking for an excuse to put David Bowie into my research posts (given he has a great new album out). This fits: Samira Ahmed, BBC Blogs, The Story of 'I Dressed Ziggy Stardust'. "This is a story about heroes and how they change us. As a little girl I grew up in the 70s & early 80s south London suburbia terrified and fascinated by David Bowie." The R4 programme is broadcast this coming Saturday.
