mr scruff documentary tonight At 1.45 am (Thursday morning) 4Music, on Channel4, screens No Pies for 200 Yards - A Film about Mr Scruff. Combining original animation with all-access documentary footage, No Pies for 200 Yards profiles the self-depreciating Mancunian DJ phenomenon during a tour earlier this year. At a time when dance music is going down the toilet, Mr Scruff - the antithesis of a 'superstar' DJ - regularly sells out venues as large as London's Forum. Gilles Peterson, Alexis Petridis and the Fun Lovin' Criminals appear in a film that surreally flips from a VW bug ball in Cornwall to the Stockport Viaduct to a hilarious backstage encounter with an indignant West Country rave dancer. apparently the highlight is andy cooking a fish pie, i knw im staying up for that alone!
It was pretty good, i'm well impressed with mr scruff's animation, didn't realise he did it all himself. The fish pie looked pretty good, but i'd say the highlight was Scruff's tea-shop. What a genius invention, tea is definitely , should have a tea shop in every club!
