THE cultural impact of the legendary mock rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap has been exemplified by the phrase “these go to 11” which emerged in a scene where the unfailingly dim guitar player, Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest), gives a tour of his stage equipment to the director of the movie, Marti DiBergi (the wonderful Rob Reiner).

The defending world champion dominated much of the weekend and had left the rest of the field trailing in his wake, before certain victory evaporated.

SPINAL TAP is back, and this time the US mockumentary band wants to help save the world from global warming.
