Having watched television coverage of Glastonbury 2005, I made it an ambition to go in 2007. When this DVD came out in the festivals year off in 2006 I was keen to watch it, ignoring the reviews saying it is not a "best of the festival", "confusing if you weren't there", "Not a documentary about the festivals history" I watched it anyway.
At first I was rather disappointed, but then did tell myself to watch it again after I had attended the festival the next year.
I fulfilled my ambition and dream and went to Glastonbury in 2007, and had an experience that I will never forget.
On my return I waited a week to recover from my hangover, comedown, exhaustion and trench-foot and watched the film again. On a second viewing I was filled with constant nostalgia. All of a sudden all of the festival goers, and organisers talking about the freedom, the no holds barred attitude, the music, the drugs, the mud, the A-class lineup and the feeling of being constantly at home all became too apparent.
The film itself is bloody well edited, and shows all the aspects of the festival in very true detail, however at a 2 and half hour time length I did feel it did drag on a bit. But even watching it a second time I felt I was still missing so much, I now feel that I should wait till I've been to at least 3 more Glastonbury's until I really can relate to it good and proper.
But even though this is a well constructed documentary and Julien Temples footage is good. People who haven't experienced the freedom of having no restraints that the Glastonbury festival has will only understand the film once they've been.

This documentary is about an obsessive fans journey to try and get an interview with infamous rock star Pete Doherty.
Its is narrated by the documentary maker (Max Carlish). Who tells his story of how he literally stalked Pete Doherty for 3 months. In that time he talked to him backstage, went to all his shows, and most famously filmed him smoking heroin before a gig. This all leads up to him trying to get an interview with and succeeding. It ends in tears as Max is attacked by Pete in a hotel.
The documentary is amazing, and is so perfect it all seems acted. It starts with highlights of Doherty's antics both on and off stage and at first you hate him but then by the end of the documentary you are converted into admiring his work, despite the drugs and punch ups.
Before i saw this documentary i didn't know who Pete Doherty was. but after this i am now a great fan. You may go either way when seeing this documentary. I saw it on channel 4 one night but I'm sure it will be repeated.

What a legendary genius Bill Bailey is. Everything here from physics to the structure of jokes. It is amazing how Bill Bailey was able to sit down and actually think of any of this stuff.
His songs as usual are hilarious. This gig includes "midnight in Parliament square" to the countdown theme tune.
Its absolutely hilarious if you liked Cosmic Jam and Part Troll your definitely going to like this. although as usual he does start to get quite strange, but that just shows his intelligence even towards science. He even ends the night with a 5 minute joke in the style of Chaucer.
SEE IT.
