The final creative chapter of one of music’s most iconic artists. Featuring rare interviews with those who knew and worked alongside Bowie as well as famous fans and figures who have been inspired by his artistry, the film will uncover the strategy behind Bowie’s artistic resurrection and the inexhaustible extraordinary creativity that defined his final decade, in which he released his critically acclaimed album Blackstar just two days before he died. This was an emergence from the turbulence of the 1990s, when Bowie had found himself at odds with a changing industry but pushed on to headline Glastonbury in 2000.

This fascinating documentary will tell the story of that momentous day, 30 January 1965, when Britain laid its most famous statesman to rest. In the programme, Jeremy Paxman meets a wide range of people who were involved in the events of that day – from soldiers who bore the coffin, to members of Churchill’s family. He also hears from Boris Johnson, author of a new book on Churchill, and from a London docker who remembers that some had misgivings about saluting the passing coffin with their cranes. In exploring the legacy of Sir Winston’s extraordinary political life, Jeremy investigates what Churchill means to Britain today, half a century after our nation mourned the death of the man whom many still regard as Britain’s greatest statesman.
