Celebrating the Peter Pan of pop’s 60 years in showbiz
factual / 9pm / ITV
It’s hard to believe that it’s 60 years since Cliff Richard burst onto the music scene as Britain’s first bona fide rock ’n’ roll star. This candid and emotional film follows the singer as he celebrates the anniversary. As Cliff goes back to Abbey Road Studios where he recorded his first hit, move It, meets up with fans and launches his latest album Rise Up, he also talks about the last few years – the dropped allegations of sexual assault and his privacy case against the BBC. Pals including Hank Marvin, Janet Streetporter, Brian May and Jimmy Osmond are also among those paying tribute in this rare and revealing look behind the scenes.
