He is the thinking mans Alastair McGowan.
Isn't anyone else getting a bit fed up of Sheen?
Isn't his role as rent-a-Britbloke schtick wearing a bit thin?
Doesn't anyone else want to see him actually "act" as opposed to impersonate?
Nope?
It's just me then is it?
Fine.
Here the true story of David Frosts meeting with Richard Nixon is played out over a couple of hours.
Really, this film lasts for two hours...two hours to get to the bit where Nixon shames himself by declaring that anything he did as President couldn't be illegal because he was the President.
That's not really much of a hook for a two hour film is it?
Anyone interested in politics (heaven knows I am, I teach politics in my "real" life) would already know about this and, in all probability, have seen the real interview. Why on earth anyone needs a dramatised version of something that you can see the real version of is beyond me.
It's a bit like going to see a film of your own wedding video...a film version where better looking people play you. What's the bloody point of that? You could watch you...you being you.
I digress.
Go and buy the real interviews on DVD then do a bit of reading on Watergate.
You'll learn more and be more entertained.
