A film about the late David Bowie is coming to BBC. The network has ordered David Bowie: The Last Five Years to air on its BBC Two network in January. Produced and directed by Francis Whately, it is a follow-up to his David Bowie: Five Years, which aired on BBC Two in 2013. BBC stated,
“As with the first film, this new piece will feature rare and unseen archive footage and early audio interviews which have never been released before. This includes the original vocal, which Bowie recorded for Lazarus, his last release before his death, which has never been heard before.”
Don’t want to wait that long. You won’t have to. Next month, BBC Four will also broadcast “Bowie at the BBC,” which will feature rare archive clips of Bowie performances from 1964-2016. Additionally, there will be several BBC radio tributes throughout January, the month that would have seen Bowie’s 70th birthday.
