By Graham White

In the wake of David Bowie's passing, and Tim Peake's spacewalk above the earth, two kids make some surprising discoveries about their parents less-than-defined identities.

Dad tells how he 'did a Bowie' one night as an adolescent in a small west country town - and describes the ridicule and hostility he faced.

Perhaps now is the moment when the children in turn have to consider the nature of their own identities, and changes.
A tale of two generations, and the meaning of Bowie.
