The Real Michael Jackson
(BBC2, 9pm-10.30pm)
Jacques Peretti is no stranger to the life of Michael Jackson – he has already made three documentaries about the self-styled King of Pop. Now, more than 10 years on from the singer’s death, Peretti is returning to the subject to take another look at
Jackson’s life and legacy, and the accusations and controversies that continue to surround him. Peretti’s film takes a closer look at each stage of the star’s life in a bid to understand his complex character. It’s a story that takes in his early years, his relationship with the media, and the final days he spent preparing for the This Is It concerts.
