Now, the moment someone becomes properly famous, they stop traveling as a person and they start traveling as a situation.

And yes, I am talking about the world of entourages.

Most people don't actually need a bodyguard and a fixer and a straw lady, but not having to start from scratch every single time you get in contact with someone is actually undeniably appealing.

A great satisfaction not having to tell your story for new every single time, which I think most major celebrities also feel.

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.
