Day (pictured) was one of the most popular actresses of the Fifties and Sixties but was often dismissed as an actress and overlooked as a singer.

The programme explores her early years as a band singer, when at 17 she got a chance to sing with one of the biggest bands of the time; and provides an insight into her troubled private life.

Fabulous clips from some of her most memorable movies illustrate how Day became one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.
