Omg I had to watch it again. The way she screams right away and there’s no getting her back from that... then bringing the confusion among the whole group
“Where’s David?!!?”
“Angie’s just said David’s dead!”
What makes it so perfect is the amount of coincidences. That David Bowie dies so unexpectedly and to worldwide shock, while his estranged wife, not in the public eye for decades, happens to have just gone in to celebrity big brother. That it was that particular year she went in, after so many series, and that it created this unique moral dilemma where she was in the one situation where she wouldn’t be able to find out what had happened on her own terms...
And then that there happened to be a David in the house , WHO WAS FEELING ILL IN BED AT TIME , also meaning he was absent from the social areas when it all unfolded.
Utterly stranger than fiction, no one would ever buy it if it wasn’t true. So there’s an amazing beauty for the one in a million time everything slots together like that. Apt it would be for Bowie. He’d be tickled by it no doubt.
