I don't think Freestone's only in it for the money, but I do think maybe Freddie meant more to him than he did to Freddie so his admiration makes things a little bit rose tinted and exaggerated.
The problem is at some point everyones stories will be told and there's nothing left, so documentaries will become more and more repeated, with the same people telling the same stories in interviews, and 'new' people will be further from source...
Case in point, the Bruce Lee documentary where they interview the man who met the Guy that set up the lights on Enter the Dragon.

Yes, that's very obvious lol. It just feels like he's trying too hard (to me anyway) whenever I hear him talk about Freddie, like he knows he's running out of "new" things to talk about and is milking it for all it's worth and embellishing EVERY detail of his life.
Mary never gives me that impression at all when I've seen her the very few times she's given interviews about him. She talks about him like a normal person, and by all accounts she was probably the closest person to Freddie besides Jim.
I agree Mary is a totally private and respectful and for the most part has shun a lot of documentaries, when she does appear she's always careful about what she says.
She clearly had a much deeper connection with Freddie than a lot of other people, i suspect that she is one of a very few that really knew him like a family member.
She also, quite rightly in my opinion (as it's her house) refused to let universal film in garden lodge for the Biopic.
Good for her! I don't think I'd want strangers filming a movie in the house I was living in either. At least they don't let people draw on Garden Lodge's wall anymore. I don't know how she was able to put up with that for years. I'd hate to look outside MY house and see some random person scribbling on MY wall.
Ya, I would much rather watch Mary being interviewed about Freddie than Phoebe. I enjoyed the interviews his mom sister gave as well.
Why do some of you guys not like Peter Freestone and Gambaccini?
Gambaccini is a smug cunt who has no relevance whatsoever to the Queen story.
