First off, I'm glad someone took the time to make this show. As a huge Bolan and Bowie fan, the mistakes are many, and pretty much ruined it. Marc Bolan was only 5'5" and Jack Whitehall who played him was at least 6 foot tall. Marc Bolan had hazel eyes and the actor had very blue eyes. Bowie was VERY left handed though portrayed as right handed, when he was painting the wall.
Also, David's eyes were not two different colors, his left eye was left permanentl dialated, which was partially explained though not fully.
In 1964 Marc was quite the hippy and his clothes in the show were like a business man.
Also, they were painting a mural, not just a plain wall.
A little more effort in the details would have gone a long way, as these traits are are part of what made Marc and David special.

Good idea - but full of anomalies

Was pleased to see this shining a light on a little known meeting between two future superstars. Was fun and worth watching. However, there were too many little errors. It was summer 1964, yet Bolan mentioned Davy Jones of The Monkees. Not formed for another 2 years. Their manager mentioned The Beatles Eight Days A Week. Not out till that Christmas. Marc was too tall. He was a mod then, but looked like a bank clerk. Overall decent, but the errors spoiled it a bit.
