The two-part film, which focuses on the singer-songwriter's life and music from 1961-66, includes never-seen performance footage and interviews with artists and musicians whose lives intertwined with Dylan's during that time. Dylan talks openly and extensively about this critical period in his career, detailing the journey from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota, to Greenwich Village, New York, where he became the center of a musical and cultural upheaval, the effects of which are still felt today.

5. The Beeb are showing it over here tonight too!

I've been looking forward to this for ages. Scorcese last music documentary about the Blues was excellent so I think the Dylan legacy is in safe hands.
