No, Eminem and David will not be duetting this song on Saturday 3rd of March. It’s all about Stanley Spencer, the slightly dotty British painter. The Beeb asked Bowie if he would like to narrate this quite lovely documentary (Omnibus Special, BBC 2 at 7.20pm) on Spencer as he’s among Bowie’s favourite Brit artists. Bowie jumped at it and here it is.
There’s lots about him online (search Google) but here are a couple of smashing photos of the man himself and his painting of the resurrection as it would have been if it had taken place in his village of Cookham. He also had some quite strange relationship mix-ups. Tune in on Saturday to see and hear all.
