Is a mocumentary but not funny or convincing just odd. Was hoping it was a real documentary and took me a few minutes to work it out. Pah

JuicyLips · 30/09/2010 21:13

Lilyloo · 30/09/2010 21:14

JuicyLips · 30/09/2010 21:27

(getting on)

Bumperlicious · 30/09/2010 21:37

Are trinny's lips part of the spoof?

mumofthreesweeties · 30/09/2010 21:45

this is worse than Jeremy Kyle and that is vile

mrscynical · 30/09/2010 22:02

I believe it's known as a 'mockumentary'.

Hasn't River Phoenix's brother been on chat shows etc. pretending to be a druggie/breakdown mess.

The whole genre is the next step down from reality shows.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse ...

It's spoof - and its old. Was 10 minute chunks on internet and its been joined together for tv. It's mildly amusing Smile
