I don’t think anyone has ever matched David Bowie in the last 100 years, he’s done so much and given the world so much through music and otherwise. He was so intelligent too, he was ahead of the critics and knew talent when he saw it, especially when it was being wasted. He tamed iggy pop and got Lou Reed mainstream during a time when they were falling apart.

What a showcase for the beauty of the human voice; so many different tones and styles. The two parts Heather Small sings always give me goosebumps.

One of the best things the BBC have ever done.

I actually remember when this debuted on the tv. I had the tv on and think I'd just got home from work. Was completely mesmerised by it all but I didn't know what it was for, why it was on, it was a complete surprise. There had been no mention of it being made by the BBC or other press, it just appeared out of nowhere. Was very original at the time. I bought the single. David Bowie's voice is so dreamy...esp the line 'You make me forget myself'...what a beautiful sound.

The video must have just come out because they played it all the time. I was obsessed. Years later when I met my husband he introduced me to the original Lou Reed version after we both started humming the song after a perfect date.

The original Lou Reed version is one of those that always make me cry. Like Bowie's, "Heroes." Both are my go to for when I need a good cry. This rendition of, "Perfect Day," is stunning. I only just discovered it a couple of days ago. Gobsmack.

Heather sings in *BOLD CAPS LOCK*

Many years later and there’s something in this song that moves me, something about so many great people coming together for one perfect moment in time. The words of the song and the video capture the happiness but also the bittersweet sadness - everything is great but like all things nothing lasts forever - for one day things can be truly special and you can be the best person you can be. I think it reminds me of my childhood too as I remember it being on every evening on the BBC. Most group songs with many singers are feel-good and up-beat and showy but this song feels really genuine and sombre - it’s simply a group of great people working together to give us something perfect…

Miss you Mr Bowie my childhood hero then through my life. Nicest guy ever true Englishman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Such an incredible promo. Did everything it set out to do. If there was ever a way to justify the BBC’s existence this was it

This is genuinely astonishing. Getting so many true A-list musicians to participate is amazing, and the point the BBC was making is that it is the only organization which could do that. Don't know whether that's true, but I've yet to see anyone else do the equivalent. And as for the execution - it's not an obvious choice of song but it lends itself so well to so many styles and it's clear that all the performers were really giving it 100%. Thanks BBC.

The best version of Perfect Day ever... I miss you David Bovie...

My fave bits of this that give me proper chills are David Bowie's "You make me forget myself" and Emmylou Harris's "you just keep me hanging on" followed by that awesome sax (?) solo ..... Just wow! This version just makes me so happy :)

So many RIPs.. hated this song when I was young. Now see it in a new light

We vote that as best commercial ever seen!

Thanks for the nostalgia blast. I remember this when it was first shown - one of those classics where all the elements gell together into something perfect.

Wow, that was awesome. Almost every show I see here on BBC America is sooooo well done, they have amazing people working in their editing, and cinematography. This is just a perfect example of that. I suppose when the weather is crappy all the time, you get creative.

So beautiful it always makes me cry

With few natural resources, not much land, a manufacturing sector coming back from the dead, and a now bankrupt financial services industry, what has the UK got to offer the world? This. Culture, creativity, ideas, inventiveness. That's why we need the BBC.

Oh!!! How I just love this song.

A great version of a great song of a great songwriter and musican named Lou Reed. Amazing harmony, fantastic lyrics.

thanks for being on this planet, Lou.

Whenever I see Bowie, my eyes just fill up. I never knew the guy and his music was before my time, but I feel such a strange connection to him. I'm sure many of his fans feel this way too. Speaks volumes of his talents and charm. Rest forever in peace, Ziggy.

I just had my perfect day...and I'm so happy...only this song can explain it!!!Its lovely!

It just feels so perfectly contemporary. All those artists having such iconic personas, styles and voices at the same time. The editing style being uniquely 90s, yet still standing the test of time. I genuinely think this could never be replicated. I liked it when I was a kid, and now have a whole other appreciation for it as someone who works in advertising. Brilliant ad 👏
