Nun sitzen beide in einer viel zu kleinen Einzimmerwohnung fest, und die Funken fliegen ...

"We Are the Champions", "I Want to Break Free", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You" oder "Another One Bites the Dust" - die großen Hits der Band Queen kennt jeder. Doch wie wurde aus dem 1946 in Sansibar geborenen Beamtensohn Farrokh Bulsara der schillernde Weltstar Freddie Mercury? Sein Privatleben hielt er stets weitestgehend aus der Öffentlichkeit heraus. Lesley-Ann Jones war als junge Rockjournalistin einige Jahre mit Queen auf Tour und ist seitdem eng mit der Band befreundet.

Nachdem seine Mutter ihm zuvor ein paar Akkorde auf dem Banjo beigebracht hatte, gründete John Lennon zusammen mit ein paar Kumpels aus der Schule 1956 die Band "The Quarrymen". Wenige Jahre später benannten sie sich um in "The Silver Beatles" – der Rest ist Musikgeschichte. Die Beatles wurden zur erfolgreichsten Band aller Zeiten und John Lennon zur Legende. Er schuf mit "Help!" oder "Imagine" Songs, die jedes Kind kennt, und war das Gesicht der Friedensbewegung.

Few perspectives epitomize the sheer drama and sacrifice of combat more perfectly than those of the fighter pilots of World War II. As romanticized as any soldier in history, the World War II fighter pilot was viewed as larger than life: a dashing soul waging war amongst the clouds.

But what about their adversaries - the highly skilled German aviators who pushed the Allies to the very brink of defeat?

"When I'm 33, I quit."– Mick Jagger. Unaufhaltsam rocken, tanzen und posieren die Rolling Stones – wirklich Siebzigjährige oder ewig Dreißigjährige? Ihr Sound und ihre Einstellung scheinen lauter und einflussreicher denn je zu sein. Doch wie wurden die ultimativen Anti-Establishment-Außenseiter zu der globalen Marke, die wir heute kennen? Lesley-Ann Jones verfolgt die Entwicklung dieser widersprüchlichen Band von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart, wo die Stones mehr denn je mit den Werten, gegen die sie immer rebelliert haben, im Widerspruch zu stehen scheinen.

Few people knew that Freddie Mercury kept a diary. When he died in 1991, he left behind seventeen handwritten notebooks chronicling his life and times, which he had begun to write in 1976 when Queen were at the height of their global fame. His final entry was made just weeks before his death. Only four of his nearest and dearest ever knew what became of those diaries. To one of them, Freddie secretly entrusted the collection just before he died. A mind-blowing listen, they constitute the closest thing to a Freddie Mercury autobiography that the world will ever know.
