I actually like how it is presented, RW in his bedroom talking as if to us the watchers, but feeling too shy to look straight in the eyes. The bit where the daughter came in was touching as well. I haven't watch a lot of documentaries in recent years, but the genre has obviously evolved and became engaging. Probably gonna watch Bechkhem as well for the experience.
Also, I love how things from my childhood ("She's the one" was one of my favorite songs and music videos as a pre-teen, seems so romantic to me back then) are now the materials of semi-historic documentaries.
I just wonder how he dove into "Take That" so quickly, with one line about being a bad student. No family? No background in arts? Seems kinda weird, usually we get at least something from childhood, a photo of the family or as a child... I don't know, perhaps he's estranged from his family or something.
Odd that he does the interviews in his underwear... but his reactions to some of the stuff he hadn't ever seen before is worth watching as well as his commentary on his demise and how he is obviously uncomfortable watching his self-destruction.
Loved the line: All Saints are just a less smiley version of the Spice Girls
9/10

This could have been really good. I'm still undecided about watching the rest. In the format that it is, RW the only talking head, then a one part 90 minute film would suffice. As it is, 4 x 50 minutes of RW sitting on a bed in his underwear watching painful old footage of himself ( his description) kills my enthusiasm for watching.
