Db On Cover Of Ltd Edition Radio Times

The Radio Times they are a-telling…

After a large teaser picture in last week’s Radio Times in the UK, this week’s edition (9-15 September) sees David Bowie gracing the front of one of six different “collectable covers”.

Each edition features one of the stars of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant‘s forthcoming second series of EXTRAS, the set of which we exclusively reported from back in June.

Inside the magazine there is a four-page feature on EXTRAS with another large photo of DB and the following quotation from Ricky Gervais…

————————————————————————————————————-

“I’ve been a huge fan of David Bowie for 25 years

(Blammo Note: I think you’ll find that’s 35 years actually Ricky!) and he is a true genius. As a failed pop star myself, I really believe he puts the “art” into music.

He’s so original, yet when you meet him, he’s so approachable and down to earth it’s hard to believe it’s the same man who was Starman. Writing a song with him was surreal; I was songwriting with Bowie. How amazing is that?”

The second series of EXTRAS starts on BBC2 in the UK at 9:00pm on Thursday, September 14th. The first show of the series features Orlando Bloom, but you can see the David Bowie episode the following week on the 21st.
