Robbie Williams: Rock DJ [DVD] [2002]

Product description Artist: Robbie Williams Manufacturer: EMI Amazon.co.uk Review Featuring a full frontal strip by Robbie--albeit one in which the Williams privates are blurred out--and more flying body parts than is customary in your average pop video rock DJ was clearly made with offence in mind. And cause offence it did, at least to puritan-minded TV schedulers most of whom declined to show the promo which, in turn, enhanced immeasurably the chart success of this actually rather nifty Frankie Goes To Hollywood-esque slice of dance-rock. Now those who missed Robbie removing not just his clothes but his skin and flesh in one of those model-filled futuristic bars that only ever seem to exist in videos can enjoy the sight at their leisure courtesy of this DVD. Also included is a brief but nonetheless entertaining making-of documentary which finds the ex-Take That member chatting up one of his leggy co-stars by asking her how the crochet lessons are going. Sadly, history--or at least this documentary--does not record whether this rather individual approach proved successful. --Clark Collis
