Description:
|
Have you ever wondered how it is that even the finest haircut can go from Barbie to bird’s nest in the space of a few days?
Martin Cosgrave has. He’s an investigative journalist who thinks he’s exposed a conspiracy used by the hairdressing trade to exploit unsuspecting customers for centuries.
Gaining the trust of industry insiders, he discovers their trade secret: a haircut which looks fantastic for a few days, then quickly deteriorates, forcing the customer to return for further grooming.
But while he is looking into this, Martin makes an even more astounding discovery. There is a second secret haircut, THE HAIRCUTTER’S CUT, which those in the know can obtain by making a secret sign.
Martin makes it his mission to track down THE HAIRCUTTER’S CUT, and a hair-raising undercover investigation ensues... |

Cosgrave rocks! Next we should see him in a feature length doco taking on President Blair about those WMD. The UK's answer to Fahrenheit 9/11... |

Brilliant mockumentary. I'll definitely request THE HAIRCUTTER’S CUT from my hairdresser at my next visit. |

Well executed and edited mock documentary with a well played central role and good concept. A little staged in places but entertaining. Well done. |

An interesting attempt at a mockumentary... my own reservatiuon is that it doesn't go far enough. Martin Cosgrave is not quite irritating enough, and could be playing it far less straight... or perhaps that's a post-Office (no, not Royal Mail) expectation. He's no David Brent... but the concept shows promise and it would be good to see where Martin's investigations take him next... |

I was foolish to believe this Conspiracy until when I came across a scene in the documentry. It claimed that Charles Dickens even complained in his own handwritting! Now thats taking the Fish. Was that really Dickens complaining or was that professor fibbing? This is just to weird to believe. |
