Adam Ant has shot a documentary about himself which was aired on C4 in July. There is no new record to sell or any other marketing-sheme behind it. Basically he's talking about his manic depression, I heard. Did anyone tape this? Fuck, I loved Adam and the Ants when I was a kid.

"Adam Ant was an '80s icon, one of the decade's biggest stars. He sold records by the million, adorned thousands of bedroom walls and hundreds of magazine covers. But he was also plagued by mental illness, fighting a daily battle against demons that threatened to overwhelm him, and even take his life. With the full and exclusive co-operation of Adam Ant and some of his closest friends and mentors, this film tells the inside story of a thrilling, chaotic, turbulent and troubled life. It is a life that has seen the highs of No.1 hits, and the lows of obsessive stalkers and terrifying depressive episodes.

It is also a life that famously reached its nadir in 2002, when Adam Ant was arrested following an incident in a London pub. In this remarkably frank portrait, Adam reflects on his glory days, his spectacular fall from grace, and the depression that's haunted him for more than 30 years."
