"You don't think of yourself as a sex symbol...but if someone thinks of you in this way, then fine."A documentary that looks into the preparations for a Gary Glitter concert and the daily routines that Gary and his management team have to go through to maintain his pop star status, from photo shoots, record company meetings, sound checks and finally the recording of a live concert.
Filmed when Gary was at the height of his stardom, this doesn't delve too deep into the process or Gary himself, but does show the mundane routines that go into making a pop star. Glitter had become an institution in Britain, having survived the industry since the 60's, but then in the late 90's he took his laptop to get fixed and his downfall was swift. The title of this then became very prophetic, I'm sure he would rather us remember him this way.
