Overview:

Arena revisits its 1995 BAFTA-nominated Sellers trilogy, this time using only film shot by the late comic, who died in July 1980. Sellers is seen at home, on set, on holiday and in carefully stage-managed scenarios in this revealing treasure-trove. Includes previously unseen footage featuring Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, and of Prince Charles at Sellers's home, all three royals appearing very much at ease. Also featured are family and friends including his wives Anne Levy, Britt Ekland and Lynne Frederick, Orson Welles, Sophia Loren, fellow Goon Spike Milligan, Pink Panther co-star Herbert Lorn and director Blake Edwards.
