Spice Girls documentary set for BBC One
19 October 2007 - BBC Entertainment and Simon Fuller's "19" today 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 story of the Spice Girls told for the very first time by the girls themselves about what it has been like inside the eye of the Girl Power storm.
Simon 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."
Elaine Bedell, Controller of BBC Entertainment Commissioning said: "I'm 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 Friday 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 Friday 16 November.
The Spice Girls will be donating all their profits from the single – commercially available from Monday 19 October – to the BBC Children in Need Appeal.
