BBC宣布推出关于大卫·鲍伊的音乐生涯最开始5年的纪录片《大卫·鲍伊：最初5年》(David Bowie: The First Five Years)，2019年在BBC Two播出。这完成了导演Francis Whately的鲍伊纪录片三部曲，此前已推出《大卫·鲍伊：最后5年》和《大卫·鲍伊：5年》。
《大卫·鲍伊：最初5年》长90分钟，包含未公开过的录音资料和少见的视频资料等，如1965年鲍伊和the Lower Third乐队在BBC试唱的视频片段。影片将聚焦1966年起后几年，一个年轻人刚把名字从大卫·琼斯改名为大卫·鲍伊，那时他还不是大放异彩的Ziggy Stardust，刚要踏上星途。

57歲的David Bowie熱情、風度一點兒也不減當年，骨子里透露的全是老男人的成熟。畫質粗糲，黑白與彩色畫面的剪輯極為出色。

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.
