Haven't seen it
but it sounds from the descriptions I've read like a total load of shite.

Some bits were ok, some bits had me on my feet shouting at the tv.
The salute to supermodels and the fashion industry really rankled.
A medley of Bowie recordings was dreadful - it was like one of those really choppy mixes switching between umpteen songs that they favour for local radio idents.
I like Elbow so their inclusion was good. What I really like about them is how Garvey looks as though he should be playing darts in a pub or working as an estate agent instead of singing like he does.
Brian May had a jacket with a fox badge and a badger badge on. That was good.

I tried to watch it
but I got as far as the Del Boy/Batman bit and had to turn over before I hurled something though the screen.
Flicked past it again a bit later to see what I was missing. Turned out I was missing George Michael. I can live with that.

The Delboy stuff was so strange.
They should also have got that Peter Kay tribute act man to perform if they want to disappoint people who like populist entertainment, infuriate those who don't and confuse non-Brits.

The bloke that had the contract to make them probably has fond memories
as does whoever owned the rights to the 'crazy frog'.

I once met the person
who had planned the advertising campaign for Crazy Frog. Supposedly, she had told the client that they were spending too much money and would be on air non-stop for months, but they wouldn't listen.
Naturally, I still beat her to death with my bare hands.
