It’s good, bad, ugly - and very very funny. Changing the way we see heroes and villains in history.


Evil Genius with Russell Kane

Was Serge Gainsbourg a cultural French icon, who pushed the boundaries of music and inspired generations of musicians? Or did he push his ‘artistic license’ into a frankly freaky place? Catherine Bohart, Ria Lina and Pierre Novellie debate his legacy in order to decide whether he was evil or genius.
