It's the last of the "lost" episodes and the second-to-last of the series of musical episodes. In this half we look at 1979's Quadrophenia, based on the 1973 album of the same name by The Who. It's a period piece set in 1964 and it outlines the days leading up to a wild weekend for both the Mods and the Rockers as they descend upon Brighton Beach.
This part of the episode also features my 11-month-old grandson, who sat on my lap for most of the time, so you can hear him banging about on stuff and just generally noising about. He got really fussy at about the 20-minute mark, so we had to literally stop recording so I could hand him off to someone else.
