May not be the greatest 'documentary' however props to the beeb for making a gaming related documentary in the first place it's quite rare (in the UK at least) that a gaming related documentary makes it into 'mainstream' television. Here's to more and better gaming docs in the future.

Possibly blackmail ? Or bad taste , despites showing some taste , initially with stuff like "A Young Doctor's Notebook" when it comes to tv ?

Scatpants2809d ago

Maybe he just really likes GTA.

Baka-akaB2809d ago

You'd think a fan runs away from mediocre stuff like that lol
