Claret Blues

I got the book 'From Orient to the Emirates' at Christmas and I've just started reading it. (Don't worry its not a thread about how good we've got it!)

I'm hooked and I've just got to the part where the film "Claret Blues" was shown by channel 4 in 1989. It sounded bad in the book but I hadn't heard of it before so I found the footage on YouTube.

And wow, how terrible is it? It looks like they had some decent footage to use in a fly on the wall documentary but decided just to run wild with the fake Burnley fan Dave with his blow up banana and his "girlfriend" who narrates the whole thing sarcastically.

That's all, i just couldn't believe it even existed. I am sure some people out there wish it didn't!
