Three hours of famous people humiliating themselves — and you're invited to the cringe fest.
Looking back to the 1980's at the celebrities in the press and on television for all the wrong reasons doing all the wrong things. It doesn't matter whether what they did was embarrassing, stupid, ridiculous, career ruining (or sometimes boosting), dangerous or illegal, they were all caught and filmed or photographed, and we will never forget them. Narrated by Isla Blair, with contributions by Simon Donald, Russell Grant, Christine Hamilton, Lauren Harries (also as James Harries), James King, and Michael Winner. These moments included It's a Royal Knockout, Rob Lowe's sex tape, Boy George's heroin problems, Drew Barrymore's childhood meltdown (including taking drugs at a very young age), the many mistakes at The Brits 1989 and many more. Good!
Production
Lauren/James Harries serving dual-identity commentary? Iconic booking.
Editing
Relentless clip montages that refuse to let you breathe.
Writing
Narration that judges everyone while pretending it doesn't.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2007 doc predates Twitter by years — imagine if they'd had the 2010s cancel culture machinery.
Michael Winner died in 2013, making his sneering commentary here unintentionally elegiac.
