Elegant Chaos' remarks give me hope that this series will be good. It's great to have a doc on The Adverts and Mark P being interviewed is also a sign that it's not all the obvious suspects being wheeled out again. However, I don't believe a serious look at punk can be done without a) the big role that women have played in it, which usually gets ignored (Zillah Minx's film 'She's A Punk Rocker' goes some way to address this and b) Crass being involved. They were incredibly important and don't get enough credit, in my humble opinion. Looking forward to the series, though.
