On Channel 4 tomorrow, 10 PM, in 'the man who faked his death', the truly incredible life of JC Romand which I will not relate here but is one of the most inimaginable life stories of last few decades in France. The film made on the story ('L'Adversaire'), after Romand went to prison (where he still is), was rather mediocre IMO but I liked the eponymous book (L'Adversaire', ISBN 2-86744-682-1) which is far more explicit and descriptive, much much better.

Incidentally, this C4 psycho series is absolutely brilliant ! I loved last week's story (the fake IRA bloke who 'hypnotised' 3 people and enslaved them for 10 yrs -was given 'life' last week), a bit like Romand's story I suppose in the gigantic magnitude of the lie, and its unbelievable course, the way the relatively small lie of the beginning (pretending he'd passed his exam) was to become uncontrollable and... well, find out more tomorrow, should be a lot better than the botched up film.
