I've never seen this before but just found it now on some foreign You Tube, here's the link to the first part if anyone would like to see it: http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ace47MxVQVM
I wonder why Boy George is on it?

Maybe he is richey.

edit: the beginning is a bit creepy. Does it carry on like this?
edit2: this is beginning to annoy me now. He's missing - he's not a bloody poltergeist.

Was this on channel four by any chance?

Haha, it may have been on channel 4, but I'm not sure. It's fairly old, about 1996 I think it was aired. I've just finished watching all three parts right now, it's not a bad documentary but it's not brilliant either.

That made me laugh. I totally believe that Richard Edwards transformed into Boy George...It´s a logical conclusion....

The second one won't work so I stopped watching it. It just seemed really channel four to me in the way it was set up (and the annoying "spooky" music in the background of bits of annoying blurry footage.)

Odd, part two worked for me fine. The spooky music was a bit daft I thought but I guess it adds to the mood. Shame they couldn't have more of Richey talking. Oh well.

Thanks for posting this link.
I have been wanting to see this but i couldn't find it.
It really does take the whole disappearing the wrong way though, and makes Richey seem like he wasn't actually human.

Are any of the manics fans in that documentary on here?

Thanks for linking this, its a tonne of fun. The voice over reminds me of the introduction to the 'ride' 'Hex' at Alton Towers

Steve Lurpack makes a good point about not needing to rubber neck at rock n roll crashes and Richey wasn't a victim. I think I remember seeing something a while back from him saying he was annoyed he was used in that documentary as it finished up very different from how it was sold to him....
