OK, I know it's a repeat screening and originally hit the airwaves back in February, but did anyone manage to catch the above show? Brilliant spoof documentary from Peter Capaldi with some cleverly done send-ups (especially the Carry On-style comedies and a spot-on Quatermass parody) of British cinema from years gone by. Still on iPlayer for a week or so if you wish to give it a look.

I knew nothing about it before watching and for the first couple of minutes thought it was a serious documentary. Beautifully done the way you suddenly realise it's a spoof.

Does iPlayer have an end date? I'm not in the UK right now, so can't watch it 'til I return.

It said 7 days left this morning so guessing it'll be taken off next Monday. Wouldn't be at all surprised if BBC4 repeats it again in the near future though.

Thanks, might just get chance to watch when I return.
