Bob Dylan is to give his first full interview about his influential early career in a BBC-backed documentary directed by Martin Scorsese.
The Gangs of New York director has been granted full access to the famously media-shy singer for a film examining the cultural and political impact of his music.
The programme will follow Dylan's career during the early 1960s when he rose to fame with folk hits such as Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are A-Changin'.
Part-financed by the BBC, it will debut on BBC Two's Arena strand and on a US Public Broadcast Service station, Thirteen/WNET in New York..............
He said: "Imagine the chance to have Bob looking back at those years, with an exhaustive catalogue of concert and other footage that has never been seen, and Martin Scorsese to interpret it and make it his authored story."
