BBC re-run classic 'Jamie: Drag Queen At 16'

To mark the success of the West End's latest hit musical, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, the BBC are re-running the classic Firecracker documentary that inspired it. 

Originally airing in 2011, Jamie: Drag Queen At 16 made its subject, Jamie Campbell, a national talking point as the boy who, despite opposition from his school, wanted to attend his prom in drag. 

It's an inspirational story, by turns hilarious and heartbreaking, which critics suggested could have been written by Hollywood. 

Watch it on BBC iPlayer until the 22nd December or on BBC One at 11.45pm on Wed 6th Dec.
