Spam the Documentary on Court TV tomorrow

Last year I helped some Canadian film makers do a TV show called
"Spam, the Documentary".  Now US viewers can see it on Court TV
tomorrow Sept 18th at 11pm or the 19th at 3am.  (Well, at least the
insomniacs or the ones with TiVo can see it.)

It came out quite well; they start by interviewing Terry Jones about
the original Monty Python spam skit, then you can see Dave buy a
genuine fake Rolex, try a weight reduction wrap, and discuss the
likely effects of enlargement products with an actual doctor (ewww).
You also see quite a lot of me doing narration from a cybercafe in
Toronto.

Court TV's web site currently has a promo and clip:

The CBC's web page at also has more info:

If, like me, you don't have cable, they say it should shortly be on
DVD so I expect you'll be able to get it from Netflix.
