The BBC has confirmed that it will air a brand new documentary about cancer campaigner Dame Deborah James featuring intimate footage dating right up until the final weeks of her life.
The 80-minute film, which will air on BBC2 titled Bowelbabe: In Her Own Words, will draw on previously unseen mobile phone footage, her collection of TikTok videos and voice notes, Instagram posts, podcast audio and family videos.
The instalment is part of the broadcaster’s Storyville documentary series, which will also be available to people on iPlayer, has been said to have been “filmed with Deborah in the last months of her life” and features her talking “frankly” about her diagnosis.
