Narrated by Spencer enthusiast and collector David Bowie , this film profiles the artist who, as well as painting scenes from both world wars, spent much of his life depicting the area around his Thamesside home in Cookham. Using archive footage, previously unseen home movies and recollections from family and friends, the programme reveals how Spencer's work enabled him to come to terms with his turbulent and bizarre personal life.
