Pogues' frontman Shane McGowan is to be the subject of a Sky arts documentary - but it's more about molars than music as it will focus on his famous teeth.

Shane MacGowan: A Wreck Reborn will follow a series of operations that saw MacGowan's distinctive gnashers replaced with a full set of dental implants.

The documentary is being made on a tight schedule, as it's due to be broadcast as part of Sky Arts' Christmas schedule.

UK production company Brookhouse's Ian Lamarra said: "I am delighted to be working on a project about an artist very close to my heart.

"I think Shane is one of the great songwriters ever produced in Great Britain and Ireland, and we want this film to reflect that."
