The two-part documentary will be an account of the story behind the recording of Do They Know It’s Christmas from those who were there in 1984, and will look at the legacy of the song and how it continues to save African lives four decades later. Reflecting on Band Aid’s cultural impact, Band Aid at 40 will feature never-aired-before footage and access from those who masterminded the landmark single, from the high profile singers to those behind the scenes, who were the beating heart behind the landmark track. It will feature brand new interviews with, among others, Bob Geldof.

Bob Geldof has hinted a 40th anniversary release of Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas? could be on the way. 2024 marks 40 years since The Boomtown Rats' frontman Bob Geldof and Ultravox's Midge Ure first enlisted a star-studded supergroup for the charity song; which went on to become 1984's Official Christmas Number 1 single and raise millions for the famine relief effort in Ethiopia.
