Also listed is a broadcast starting on our man's birthday next Tuesday, when the digital only Performance Channel begins a three-day run of a new David Bowie profile compiled from Alan Yentob's meetings with David over the years. Yentob was the man behind the superb 'Cracked Actor' documentary and the 'Changes Bowie at 50' programme from 1997. He also interviewed David in Berlin during the 1978 tour for Arena Rock. Here's the blurb for the programme:
"If David Bowie ever needed his very own Boswell, he wouldn?t have to look far: BBC culture vulture Alan Yentob has met the rock star at regular intervals since the first explosion of fame in the early 70s up to the present day. These insightful interviews have all been brought together for this in-depth profile ? going from glam rock, to Brian Eno and Berlin, through the lucrative Let?s Dance years, to the new technology guru of today."
Have to admit I can't find out much about this one, and the way it reads, it could almost be that the Performance Channel have just licensed the 'Changes Bowie at 50' programme. Still, all will be revealed on Tuesday.

BowieNetter Vaun Norman informs me that "Hereos"/"Helden" was used by BskyB's Soccer Extra programme in the UK as a backdrop for the "5-1 drubbing of Germany". I'm guessing the broadcast was an end of year look back, as the original game took place in September. Vaun also claims that pretty much the whole song was used, not bad considering the track is over six minutes long!
