Who Is Poly Styrene? (1979x5)

Air date: Jan 22, 1979

Two years ago Marion Elliott, a 20-year-old from Brixton, gave up working in Woolworths and became punk singer Poly Styrene. Having created her own plastic image, she formed a band, X-Ray Spex, and set about reflecting life in the synthetic 70s with songs like 'The Day the World Turned Day-Glo' and 'Germ-Free Adolescents'. This film observes the differing worlds of Marion Elliott and Poly Styrene.
