UPDATE, 2:30 PM: With the landmark 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks coming up, National Geographic Channel plans a full week of programming commemorating the event from Aug. 28-Sept. 3. At the network’s TCA session this afternoon, Nat Geo detailed its special week that will include turning over primetime to 9/11-themed programs nightly from 8-11 PM. Headlining the programming is an exclusive hourlong interview with former President George W. Bush that finds Bush offering a rare glimpse into his thoughts about the events of that fateful day. The interview, conducted over a two-day period, will premiere on the channel Aug. 28 at 10 PM, encoring on Aug. 29 and Sept. 3. Speaking to critics today about the interview — cobbled into a narration-free hour special in which Bush’s is the only face seen on camera — executive producer and director Peter Schnall said that Bush required no ground rules in terms of discussing what would be asked in advance. “The president and his staff asked that no questions be provided beforehand,” he said.
