Jarvis explores the early years of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground to celebrate the anniversary of their first album release. But first: today in 1926, AA Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh was published. The publisher discusses Pooh's international success, and Alan Bennett reads 'In which Eeyore has a Birthday and Gets Two Presents'. Also On This Day: the first 50p coin, Ronald Reagan declared War on Drugs, and the Battle of Hastings - Marriott Edgar performs a monologue about it. Velvet Underground biographer Victor Bockris explains the influence of LaMonte Young on the band's early sound. John Cale also pays tribute to Young and recalls their Beatles-inspired beginnings. Lou Reed talks about songwriting, describes tough early gigs in Greenwich Village and remembers how Andy Warhol invited them to accompany underground film screenings. Brian Eno considers their lasting influence. Birthdays: Lillian Gish, Jules Rimet, LaMonte Young, Roger Moore, Steve Cram and Steve Coogan.
