The Driven Man - by Rowan Atkinson

I am sure many of you already know about this short... mockumentary before the term even existed?

I found about it today and I cannot believe I lived 43 years without having watched it, so here it is for all of you like myself!

Pretty sure I remember watching this as a kid, he did a few around the car, all very entertaining and relatable

In what way is it a 'mockumentary'? It's a video about Atkinson's relationship with the motor car, made in an amusing way to get his points across and make it entertaining.

And yes it's great, I remember watching it the first time - I'm old...

Rememebr this well. He drove a Lancia saloon (dedra??) and lots of 90s car based goodness.

Yeah, probably his funny bits reenacting his youth and all made me think about not being a "proper" documentary.
