Citizens of Boomtown: The Story of the Boomtown Rats 9.20pm, BBC Two

Perhaps best known as the exasperated mastermind behind the 1985 Live Aid concert, Bob Geldof has since been somewhat overlooked as one of the architects of Irish punk through his work with the Boomtown Rats. With a new album released this year, this documentary features testimony from Geldof and his bandmates on their rise in Ireland and then dominance throughout Britain, before Geldof’s tabloid-friendly lifestyle overtook their musical releases.
