    I will admit to having been brought up a stone's throw from Bearsden (a well-off suburb of Glasgow in Scotland) though some years before this actually took place. The story is all about "Brandon Lee" - portrayed here by Alan Cumming. He rather famously enrolled at a school and passed for a 16 year old pupil, fairly effortlessly, until a series of unfortunate mishaps lead to a rather startling discovery and a tissue of lies and deceit. Aside from a little illuminating actuality at the end, it is largely delivered to us by way of commentaries from the man's contemporaries - now in their forties - describing the fascinating chronology of just what happened. Some of these contributions are superbly pithy. Beware there is plenty of ripe Glasgow ...
