The BBC had a tribute evening devoted to Olivia showing this hour long programme, the Xanadu movie and a repeat of Olivia's UK 1977 TV special Only Olivia.
This programme draws on the BBC's extensive back catalogue from Olivia's early 70s appearances, Top Of The Pops right up to 2017. Thankfully, they haven't solely concentrated on the Grease era so there's some lovely gems here.
The BBC added some nice captions to the footage which make for interesting reading. The final caption on Stone In My Pocket from 2017 says it perfectly that message, the song and this performance help capture the positive spirit she displayed to the end - and show why Olivia's fans across the world will always remain hopelessly devoted...
