The programme is actually being made by More4. A part of Channel 4 recently created to make more adult (in the true sense of the word) mature programmes. It will be shown on More4 first and then on the main Channel.
The point of More4 is to broadcast / make programmes which will make people think and consider different options.
Couple of quotes
"More4's chief, Peter Dale, said the headline-grabbing conceit was used as the hook for an intelligent examination of American politics. "It's a mixture of a gripping detective story and a political examination of what the war on terror is doing to the American body politic," he said.
Gabriel Range, director of the film, said: "Inevitably there will be people offended by the premise. But anyone who does see the film will recognise that it's not a personal attack on Bush but an oblique way of exploring the direction his foreign policies have taken us.""
Well then.
Let me say that I feel I will be able to comment afterward based on what I hear of the show from those who
have watched, and, then, further be able to expound on the felt need to use Bush himself rather than an approximation.
The actual events may be favorable or not-it does not bear on my curiosity about usage of the technology.
I am not talking about being "offended by the premise", which premise exists whether or not Bush's image is reproduced.
As to the prospect of the Gordon Brown/Tony Blair film, my curiosity would exist in equal measure.
If the same technique is used, I would assume the effort would necessarily be even more comprehensive than it will for the Bush film.
If that film is done
without using the same technology, I will wonder why not...won't you?
BTW-The-
You've grabbed a great big fistful of air.
Again.
I don't know what you're about.
