Marina Hyde

Hello, and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment Questions and Answers Edition.

I'm Marina Hyde.

Hello, Richard.

How are you?

We've got a lot of questions.

We're going to start with the Kylie documentary.

Yes, I know you love the Kylie documentary.

Miranda Reynolds and various others actually want to know, watching the Kylie Netflix documentary, one of the most striking things is all the incredible use of archive footage.

It made me wonder who's capturing all of that material at the time and who was thinking about its future value.

Is there now a more conscious effort to preserve those moments properly, knowing they could become hugely valuable years later?

Well, that's what Adam Curtis always says, that footage stops becoming useful once the smartphone comes along because people are so aware of being filmed and they're performing and you don't have the sense that you're just being given a backstage glimpse.

It's much more like it's a performance.

Because there's a lot of waiting.

That's the thing.

People are making a documentary.

Ordinary people who are not remotely famous make documentaries about their lives every single day and put it on TikTok or Shorts or whatever it is.

So what you want to do is make a very, very high production values company where everyone pulls their footage and then you create... A super cut of children's sensitivity plays.

This is like your one about removing tattoos.

Yes.

I mean, you would be very diversified if you pursued all these plans.
