The Unforgettable


The Unforgettable... is a British television documentary programme that aired on ITV. It gave a biographical view into the lives of some of Britain's best-remembered entertainers and actors.
Each episode focused on the parallel private and professional life-stories of each person, which included interviews with friends, family and co-stars. The series also used previously unaired home recordings and personal photographs.
