No it's not. It's an itv production which is being broadcast by channel 5.

It was commissioned by channel 5. Regardless of the third party who owns the production company, Channel 5 are the ones paying for it.

Without the dire and completely unnecessary reconstructions there are some 'credible' talking heads (Ratty, David Wigg, Peter Straker etc...), but the acted sequences are just the fucking pits.

What awfull! hahaha OMG,

Darling, Darling, Darling, Darling

The guy playing Freddie does look a bit like him, but the guy playing Brian looks like they just chose a guy that had a big nose and stuck a curly wig on him. They then add insult to injury by not even giving him the right guitar - he plays a Gibson SG.

but overall, you are right - the acted parts are just awful

Only 2 secs new footage of I want it all, or am i wrong?

The aim of this programme was not to treat us to rare band stuff - it was unofficial and never therefore going to have access to the vaults

It's pretty sick really, especially the end where they re-enact his death.
In daylight, I hasten to add, despite making it clear it was 7.01pm on 24th November....

A putrid production.

They tried, but it was crap.

As another forum member pointed out above "Darling, darling, darling..." to the point it became irritating, every other line. Also, Freddie was portrayed as having no humour whatsoever.

It felt forced, and felt me cold.

Another 2 hours wasted off my life...

Not only that, but "Freddie" was seen smoking in 1975,thought he didn't start til 1980-81?
When I first saw "Freddie" backstage at Live Aid, I almost expected him to say "Good Moaning"!

Thoughts as i watched it:

Why is Freddie calling him Peter, he would have called him Pheobe.
Why is it implied that before any performance, all Freddie fucking does is go 'Day-oh!'
Whoever cast Roger Taylor is a bloody fool. I mean...nothing, nothing like the bloke.
Such shit script and dialogue "There you are Mary"....why would you say your friend's name in a nightclub like that?
Freddie smoking in 1975? Really poor research.
At least research how Freddie broke the news to Mary...Mary and David Wigg have said in interviews more than less how it went - and not like that.
What is that 1979 haircut??
Why cast somebody who doesn't look a thing like Paul Prenter...and then get him to introduce Freddie to a new lover...who does actually fucking look loads like Paul Prenter?!?!
How often does Freddie wear his bloody Live Aid outfit and jeans? It's like he didn't have anything else to wear? It's 1985...so he wore that all year round did he?
Darling, Darling, Darling....jesus, such a cartoony character.
Bullshit Knebworth theory...Freddie's voice didn't wane because of Aids. Even the crackpots on this forum haven't suggested that.
Peter Freestone has stated that Freddie was never diagnosed with HIV, but instead was told he had AIDs. So what's this period of time where apparently he knew he was HIV positive all about? Where have they got this info?
Another reveal of news...another incorrect portrayal.
Live performance of Barcelona did the narrator just describe that as. "He's singing well"...no, he's miming well.
Doesn't seem on death's door 24 hours before he dies...seems fed up and playing with his ring. Rubbish directing.
