Sammy Davis Jr at the BBC

He was known as Mr Entertainment, and it's clear why that was the case from this collection of some of Sammy Davis Jr's finest moments on British television - showing off his unbeatable talents as singer and raconteur and opening up about his life in several fascinating conversations.

Sammy always had a special affection for the BBC, appearing many times over the years to perform and share stories with the likes of Michael Parkinson and Terry Wogan, and here we find him discussing his encounters with racism and his relationship with America's civil rights movement, the breakdown of his controversial marriage to the actress May Britt and the car accident that cost him an eye.

Alongside all the insights into his life and experiences are, of course, several show-stopping archive performances – as he wows the BBC's studio audiences with classic songs like Once in a Lifetime, Me and My Shadow and My Funny Valentine.
