A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.
Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them...
"Would you tell me," said Alice, a little timidly, "why you are painting those roses?"
Five and Seven said nothing, but looked at Two. Two began in a low voice, "Why the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know..."
LONDON, 2011: Life imitates literature...
Of course, in my 21st-century-version, the roses are artificial and the red paint is in a spray-can!

I have the film on my iPod but I would love to buy it - but I must be tight with money because I don't see the point of buying a film when I already have it.
Although, I'm really interested in seeing the documentary - I hope it goes on the internet - or unless if you have a copy?
Wish I could help, Steven, I don't have a Blu-ray player (I saw it at a friend's house) and this is a feature unique to Blu-ray that runs for the length of the film while you are watching it, so it is very unlikely to end up on the internet.
