Overview

National treasure Max Boyce celebrates two major milestones - 50 years on stage and his 80th birthday, in a star-studded look at his incredible career as a comedian, singer, songwriter and 'people’s poet'. In a mix of documentary and performance, Max looks back at his achievements and lifts the lid on his private life at home in Glyneath. From the tragic events that shaped his life to his passion for rugby and his local club, this is a side of Max rarely seen. The programme mines six decades of archive material and features some of his most iconic songs and stories as well as contributions from Rob Brydon, Michael Sheen, Katherine Jenkins, Gareth Edwards and Cerys Mathews.
