    Its a poor "Doctor Who Rival" and is not going to last. poor cgi and an overall script that leaves alot to be disired. I would gie it 2/10 and thats being kind. I really cant see this lasting, the almighty Doctor Who will always better it.

  15. I so hate people who only like the classics and dont venture out and try others. Young Americans was the best akbum he ever did, and beats any thing by him. the abum even featured luther vandros. brilliant record.

    NUMBER 1 - ZIP GUN BOOGIE aLI7olo1rZo T.Rex's least succesfull single. No.42 in november 1974. At the height of the Downfall period of marcs career. He even claimed to Newspapers "T.Rex Was Dead, It no Longer Exists"!! He also threatened to embark on a solo career to Totp magazine. The following album "Bolans Zip Gun" didnt even carry the T.Rex name. It seemed marc had faling, and was now a washed up superstar. Hed also now relocated to America, living in hollywood with Gloria Jones, who was now part of T.Rex as Backing Vocals/Clavinet. Hope evryone takes the time to watch all these. it took me hours to do...

    NUMBER 2 - I LOVE TO BOOGIE NOc6ENMiPYI Marcs biggest later day hit. Although it only reached number 13 in the summer of 1976, it became a classic T rex song. And it showed that marc was still around. Hed lost the weight and cut hes hair short, and looked healthier than ever. Thus was another Totp performance, and was actually live! Although for some reason the tempo was completely changed.... And nw onto No.1.......

    NUMBER 4 -- DREAMY LADY GqtooqM8RhM So, Late 1974, marcs fame was copletly gone. Hed put weight on and moved to america in what he called Hes Tax Exile. Hes singles flopped and he was now known as "The Porky Pixie" and "The Glittering Chipolata". But mid 1975, hes new song "New York City" had gone in at No.15 in england. This Rekindled marcs passion for making music. So he decided to really go for it. Although he had a lot of work ahead of him. Step one: he moved back to england, Step Two: regualer Tv Peformances. In September 195 he struck a deal with Mike Mansfield, in which Marc would perform regually on Mikes new programme "Supersonic". This was hes first performance on Supersonic. A new look for bolan, in heavy make up. hed also lost some of the weight. Rehursles for this performance were cancelled though, dyu to something that would change hes life. The birth of hes son Rolan. all the recent publicity proppeled this into the charts, although not as high marc wanted, it still reached No.30

    NUMBER 5 - TOKEN OF MY LOVE ingvsaVhtcg This is another track from Don Kirshners Rock Concert. It showed a now overweight, sluggish tired bolan. For some reason theyed slowed the song down to a minimal pace, but for some reason i like it!

    NUMBER 6 - BUICK MACANE y258n_Ma59Y Marcs version of Heavy Metal! From music laden 1973, it showed a possible new direction for T.Rex, but tit never really took off. Tooken from 1972's Silder album, its much more pupmed up here with heavy rousing guitars and heavier druming.
