This BBC4 documentary was shown on terrestrial last week, and is currently on the iPlayer.

It ‘explores the story of the lyric-driven French chanson and its greatest artists, including Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Juliette Greco, Anna Karina and Jane Birkin’, according to the BBC’s blurb.

And it did. Most enjoyable. There’s a playlist associated with the programme within the iPlayer window. Tetes Raides and Zaz were new to me (though I am a bit of a ‘civilian’).
