Jim Davidson: The Rise and
Fall of Mr Saturday Night
Jim Davidson has always been somewhat controversial figure. Whether it’s in his comedy shows, his TV appearances or his personal life, Davidson stirs the pot with all sorts of people, and they’ve been talking about him now for 50 years.
In a new and exclusive 90-minute documentary we will spend several months immersing ourselves into Jim Davidson’s weird world and explore his life, extensive career, and controversies. From his early days on The Jim Davidson Show, to his later career, including his 13th series win of Celebrity Big Brother, we leave no stone unturned. With interviews from both his friends and his critics and extensive archive footage, the documentary will delve into his half century long career. With the emergence of social media and cancel culture, Jim’s comedy is as controversial and offensive as ever, so who is his fan base? And behind all the discussion about him and his comedy, who is the real Jim Davidson? Is he really the person we think he is? Finally, can today’s society ever really ‘cancel’ someone who has thrived from controversy throughout his whole career?
