Watch Elvis: The Journey

This programme takes an in-depth look at the boy and the man who was born to be a legend. It was as a teenager that the Elvis bandwagon began to roll although the age of time proved to be rockier than anticipated. Together with rare unseen footage we chart his progress from his poor beginnings, through his teenage years to the eventual meteoric rise of a star. Here you can see the events unfold in his life, which were to colour and shape his career, including his call up and the later battle with his weight to the sudden and unbelievable end of the rock 'n' roll legend.
