Young Elvis in Colour (NEW)

ITV1 (UK) is to mark the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death next month with an hour-long documentary. Young Elvis In Colour will feature the singer's early film screen-tests together with footage of him in concert. There will also be interviews with his childhood friends and musicians.

It's been 30 years since Elvis Presley shook, rattled and rolled off this mortal coil and despite the occasional sighting by people cheerfully described as "eccentric", his reputation's been set in stone. But does Elvis deserve all this reverence?

What would Elvis be doing if he was still with us today? And how far has his influence spread? This week, RT's Stuart Maconie is joined by a whole host of celebrity Elvis fans to examine the King's legacy and speculate about what might've been if the reaper hadn't been quite so hasty…

Well U.K looks crap for the 30th Anniversary. I remember the 20th Anniversary that was better. There were Elvis films on the BBC like Viva Las Vegas, It Happened At The Worlds Fair, Jailhouse Rock, Follow That Dream. And there were a few more documenteries.

Looks like an interesting programme on Tuesday afternoon on Radio 4 when David Trimble talks about Elvis in the series Great Lives. From the excerpt I have heard, he sounds like a real fan.
