Who Am I? Who cares!
What a load of absolute rubbish!
This is a cash grab for the Christmas DVD market if ever there was one.
What's it even about? The making of the doomed 1996 TV movie? Not really. Fandom? Possibly
This documentary (and I use that word lightly) doesn't seem to know what it is, and to be honest, I soon lost interest in finding out.
To me really it's Matthew Jacobs (who comes across as a very unlikable and bitter man with some axes to grind) going through a 'bitter struggle' of sitting behind desks and being paid to sign photos from the film that was always destined to fail in the first place. You can get a strong whiff of sour grapes from the moment you open the DVD case.
Save your money and indeed your time.
