MUMBAI:
BBC Entertainment and Simon Fuller's 19 have confirmed plans for
a brand new Spice Girls documentary.
Spice
Girls: Giving You Everything, to be screened in the UK on BBC
One, tells the story of the band from the very beginning to the
present day.
Despite
the huge amount that has been spoken and written about them over
the years, this will be the first time that the Spice Girls themselves
would be telling the story of what it has been like inside the
eye of the Girl Power storm.
Fuller said, "This is the story of the greatest pop phenomenon
since The Beatles, told in their own words. It will cover the
highs and the lows, the laughter and the tears, from their pre-Spice
Girls days and the forming of the group to the first taste of
success, world domination and ultimately the break-up and the
aftermath."
BBC
Entertainment Commissioning controller Elaine Bedell said, "I
am really pleased that the Spice Girls have chosen to celebrate
their reunion on BBC One. This unique documentary will provide
exclusive access and we're also delighted that they're
showing such great support for BBC Children in Need."
Girl
Power will hit UK screens as early as 2 November when BBC One
has the world exclusive screening of the Headlines (Friendship
Never Ends) video. This single is one of two new songs that the
Spice Girls have recorded for their Greatest Hits album and the
five-piece will perform the official song for this year's BBC
Children in Need Appeal during the BBC One telethon on 16 November.
Spice
Girls: Giving You Everything is directed by Emmy award-winning
Bob Smeaton, whose previous work includes The Beatles Anthology.
It is produced by Martin Smith and was commissioned by Elaine
Bedell, Controller of BBC Entertainment Commissioning. Bob Massie
is the Executive Producer for 19 Television.
