Alan Yentob and Rod Stewart, BBC



I  missed this (Imagine: Can't Stop Me Now) first time round. I'm not a Rod Stewart fan but this is a fascinating portrait of the man, his musical and social development. BBCiPlayer - available for 28 days

"From beatnik to mod, from folkie to disco tart, from glam rocker to, most recently, crooner of American standards, Rod Stewart has had a remarkable musical journey. Alan Yentob visits Rod at his homes in Beverly Hills and Essex and talks to his friends and family, including all eight children aged from two years old to 50.

Featuring rare archival footage of Rod when he was barely out of his teens and living above his parents' north London sweetshop, lmagine examines an entertaining career across five musical decades".
