Urban Myths - Sky Arts

[SinisterBumFacedCat]

Recreations of famous events, slightly embleshied with some great actors/comedians. It's on The in Demand section, some of series 1 and I think all of series 2.

Last night we watched an episode on Live Aid and Bill Grundy vs The Sex Pistols. It was brilliant, especially the Sex Pistols one, the actors playing Johny Rotten and Malcolm M were spot on. If this bit of pop culture history makes you laugh I recommend seeking this out. There's also other episodes, Samuel Becket and his French builder is hilarious.

Thanks for this, just found it and am looking forward to catching up!

I’m really enjoying these - think the Marilyn Monroe one is great but the Andre the Giant one and David Bowie one are brilliant. Wonder how much is true!!

Just watched the Marylin one, so clever especially the scenes between the actors mirrored their scenes from Some Like it Hot. Public Enemy one is good, and definitely happened I remember hearing about it.

I find this hit and miss, but thankfully the hits (Sex Pistols, Live Aid) are great. I can't stand Frank Skinner though and his Johnny Cash was a miss for me.
