Bowie appeared in series two of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's programme Extras in 2006 where a random encounter with Bowie in a pub ends with Bowie at a piano singing a song - Chubby Little Loser - which ridicules Gervais' character Andy.
At the meeting, Mackintosh pulled out a demo recording of "Practically Perfect, " a song his colleagues George Stiles and Anthony Drewe had written to introduce the character of Mary Poppins.
