DVD Description
Voted the funniest person of the millennium in a BBC poll, the late great Spike Milligan remains an inspiration to a new generation of comedians. This extended version of director Cathy Henkel's 2005 documentary features interviews with family, friends, and colleagues revealing Spike as a brilliant but tortured man, treading a thin line between genius and debilitating depression. Performance footage, previously unseen home movies, and contributions from the likes of Michael Palin, Eddie Izzard, and Eric Sykes all help to paint an intimate and deeply personal portrait of the man widely considered to be the godfather of alternative comedy. DVD extras include: alternative commentaries by the director & Spike's daughters; six mini documentaries; bonus
