Post production note: we (mindlessly) used an old clip of Gary being interviewed by his childhood hero William Shatner from the Russian propaganda station "RT" (filmed before the invasion) - this was a mistake, and we were guilty of what we accused GPT users of i.e. not engaging brain. In case it didn't go without saying, we (and Gary) don't endorse RT and abhor the actions of Russia in Ukraine.
