I don’t know if you saw it, but BBC2’s David Bowie documentary, Five Years, screened at the weekend, was very entertaining. A lot of the archive footage was familiar, but there were also some splendidly unexpected highlights, like a sequence of Bowie filmed at Andy Warhol’s Factory, which rather vividly suggested that Bowie’s talent for mime isn’t perhaps all it’s cracked up to be in which he pretended to unspool his own entrails and pluck out his heart, a performance that was doubtless accompanied by much sniggering from Andy's crowd.
There are many delights on offer in David Bowie – Five Years, the BBC’s terrific new documentary focussing on five critical periods in Bowie’s career. Here’s a longhaired Bowie, sporting a natty fedora, at Andy Warhol’s Factory in 1971, miming being disembowelled. And here he is on The Dick Cavett Show in 1974, wearing a dark blue shirt, tartan tie and brown trousers, twirling a cane while he performs “Footstompin”, a cut that eventually became “Fame”.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield has become the first person ever to record a music video in space, filming his version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" from the International Space Station.
David Bowie's controversial new video has been branded "juvenile" by a former Archbishop of Canterbury.
The singer plays a Christ-like figure in the video for "The Next Day", while his co-star Gary Oldman appears as a priest and Marion Cotillard is seen with stigmata wounds on her hands. The video premiered yesterday (May 8) and was briefly banned from YouTube before being reinstated later in the day.
The controversial new David Bowie video is streaming once again on YouTube after being banned by the site.

The unveiling of Bowie's latest video earlier today prompted me to dig out this piece I originally wrote for our Bowie Ultimate Music Guide, about Bowie on film...
David Bowie has released the title track from his current album The Next Day as a single.
The video was directed by Floria Sigismundi - the photographer and filmmaker who directed Bowie's last video, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)". She also directed The Runaways and the video for Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors".
The video for "The Next Day", which is set in a pub, stars Gary Oldman and Marion Cotillard alongside Bowie.
