BBC Scotland have made a programme called called The Scheme which is basically a fly on the wall documentary about people on a housing estate in Kilmarnock. It is a real life shameless and is very hosed up indeed. My favourite part is the mother lying in bed smoking a fag using language like oval office whilst her 5 year old daughter is totally running late for school. Classy.

Available on iPlayer:

The second episode was shown last night and it was just as juicy. Alas due to legal reasons they can't broadcast any more episodes for the near future - someone featured in the 3rd and 4th episodes is up in court on a serious charge!

I know, I found out I could get BBC Scotland and watched it.

What a clusterfuck!

When We Were Kings is probably one of the most definitive boxing docs, if not the most; it covers pretty much the whole of the Ali v. Foreman fight, from the promotion and run up with everyone involved to some of the more technical aspects of the fight itself. It's on Documentary Heaven and Netflix instant and it is excellent.

This isn't a particularly good film on the subject but it's worth it to see a glaswegian getting rear end raped by a demon in part 2.

Any recommendations for documentaries about art or street art? Not too dry though.

I watched ''Exit through the gift shop'' and found that interesting.

Saddam Husseins Family

A ‘History Majors’ documentary by the Biography Channel about the former Iraq president, Saddam Hussein’s family and the turbulent relations therein.

Warning: This film contains some (relatively) brutal footage from the Saddam regime, but it probably won't affect you tubgirl goatse-jaded goons.

The Sakawa Boys

A vbs.tv documentary about nigerian scammers who call themselves the 'Sakawa'

While Nigeria’s 401 scammers may have written the book on West African internet fraud, their shtick looks like Compuserve compared to what’s going on in Ghana.

Unsatisfied with the meager winnings from emailing thousands of random Westerners in hopes of convincing one poor sap they’re the treasurer of the Ivory Coast, Ghana’s scammers decided to stack the odds in their favor the old-fashioned way—witchcraft.

Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes

Stanley Kubrick's Boxes is a documentary film directed by Jon Ronson about the film director Stanley Kubrick. Ronson's intent was not to create a biography of the filmmaker but rather to understand Kubrick by studying the director's vast personal collection of memorabilia related to his feature films.

Following Kubrick's unexpected death. Ronson was invited to Kubrick's house by his widow. When he arrived at the house he found that half the house was filled by over one thousand boxes, each containing snap shots, newspaper clippings, film out-takes, notes, and fan letters which the director used for research towards each of his films.

This is a brief (30 minute) chronological walkthough of the final fantasy series, though not quite up to date with the latest title (it mentions the upcoming FFXIII), the different gameplay mechanics, plot points, changes in technology, mini games as well as each game’s iteration of ‘Cid’ are all touched upon. Other titles outside the main series are also discussed.
