I've got a copy on VHS tape somewhere. haven't played it for years though, so the quality might be bit ropey. Mick ain't actually in the documentary it's just based on his book of the same name if I remember rightly. I've got another Farren scripted documentary on videotape about horror movies I'll have to dig them both out.
