I recorded it and have watched it twice since. Would have missed it if not for your post. And to GaryG above, they re-title lots of things in different countries. US film and tv titles are often re-branded (some several times) in the US if the owners think a new title will resell it here. It often happens when copyright ownership changes hands.

I like to think that some where in Marwencol there is a doll with the likeness of me. Hahaha. Anyways, I couldn't think of a better way to show my appreciation and interest in Marks work by giving a little donation to his righteous cause.
