The very lovely Tris Penna had this to say regarding the broadcast: “What was so satisfying about making 'Exploring Life on Mars?' was that I was able to devote a whole hour to what makes DB’s music so special. Wipe away the make-up, discard the costumes, forget the record sleeves - and still the music astonishes and is uniquely timeless…”.
Mr Penna is pictured here holding the gong with producer Sue Clark. The bloke on the right is the chap who wrote the subject of the documentary, photographed around the time that he did.
