Well have just watched it and I don't really get it. It seems to have been made as dreadful as possible with deliberate breaks in the film just to show how dreadful the production company is! All possibly as a big spoof. Yet the press releases showed it to be a one of drama maybe this was all part of the hype or maybe not! Still there are some glimpses of an older George.
It is a great show that people do come and see. Because it's not
just a show for adults, or just for children, or just for people that
like theatre, I'd say for everyone, and it's got so much emotion
behind it. Because who ever comes and sees it, feels the story -
so I think: it's brilliant!" (GM)

Would you say it is actually an 18?

As jen said, it would be kind if someone could download the "Renaissance" clips
and upload them somewhere (Youtube etc.) where we non-UK residents might
be able to see those video clips as well:

Many thanks! ;)

No not at all. Lots of running about and shouting and blood. Hopefully there is a longer full length episode somewhere.

Watched it again and it is better, has anyone come up anyway how it can be downloaded or whatever so that people apart from the UK can view my brother doesn't think it can be done but that could be him not wanting to bother! Do watch it it is only about 10mins in total.

You could Hypercam it.
But it would be very bad quality!

Most of the current video capture programs can't grab the video because it uses the new MS Sliverlight but I'm working on it. ;)

That sounds far to technical to me! I am not that wonderful on computers

Just to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the official London Opening night (12 May 2005 - with George as Billy) a bit, here is the link to an original review:

And there are two links to reviews of that famous 1st anniversary Gala night, 12 May 2006, included as well. ;)
