Edwyn Collins: Home Again

Duration: 40 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Four

Edwyn Collins, former lead singer of Orange Juice and a successful solo artist in his own right, suffered a brain haemorrhage in February 2005 and almost died. Miraculously he pulled through, despite contracting MRSA after undergoing a risky operation, but had to face a lengthy and arduous rehabilitation programme to learn how to walk, speak and play the guitar again.

The programme follows him through therapy and back into the recording studio as he completes the solo album - Home Again - that he began before falling ill.

Includes Edwyn's remarkable return to the stage, singing a selection of old and new songs at the BBC's Electric Proms. Show less
