Now BBC Worldwide have sold "The Last Five Years' to HBO U.S. they have also sold it to airline entertainment.


This is the best Bowie bio/doco since the now dated episode Hang Onto Yourself from the BBC series Dancing In The Streets, and of course producer / director Francis Whately first part Five Years.
Francis Whately also produced White Light, White Heat: Art Rock episode in the series Seven Ages of Rock , this contain some new outtakes from  Hang Onto Yourself series Dancing In The Streets.
Some unseen footage in The Last Five Years, but i was surprised they didn't source masters of some the official clips, there was even some am cam with studio audio dubbed, all in all i give it a 20 out of 10.
It wasn't just the last 5 years, but material from all over Bowie's career, i didn't realise that 'fame' was such an issue with Bowie.

HBO U.S. have just bought it from BBC Worldwide, so it will be on TV in the U.S.
Do you still have TV in the U.S.?  :D
