Have you any idea where I could get a copy of that documentary, please? No hits from amazon.com or .co.uk. I've seen several documentaries and films about DM, I've heard him speak a couple of times, and I 'accosted' him in the street once and we chatted for quite a long time. He's not as lugubrious in real life as he seems on film. In fact, he struck me as a very warm-hearted, friendly person, and witty. He was very kind to talk to me for such a long time, and seemed genuinely interested (except when I gushed with admiration, when he became very shy and modest). -- Cheers, Bob
