Broadcast by Channel 4 in August 1999 in anticipation of Ken Kesey's trip to the UK for the total eclipse, this is a well constructed documentary look at Kesey, the Merry Pranksters, the bus trip, the Acid Tests and all the other fun they got up to. It features lots of great archive footage; contemporary (late 90s) footage filmed at Kesey's home and on the road with the latest bus; and interviews with the relevant (Hunter S. Thompson, subtitled!) and curious (Fatboy Slim?).
