McQueen: The Lost Film, 9.0pm, Sky Documentaries & NOW TV
Hollywood icon Steve McQueen (above) would have been 90 years old in 2020.
Tragically, he never made it past 50, but in a short career reached global superstar status as the male lead of many of the most memorable films of the 1960s and '70s.
One film from his prime mid-1960s era was started but never completed, and all materials from it were thought to have been long-lost or destroyed.
But the fate of these missing reels only tells part of this tale, and the full behind-the-screens story will have to be seen to be believed.
