The Making of Me on Dutch television

Post by Xanthippe »

Dutch television channel 3 will broadcast the documentary The Making Of Me with Vanessa-Mae coming Thursday, July 22 at 21:00 CET. The first episode of the documentary with John Barrowman was aired last Thursday. The final episode with Colin Jackson will be shown on Thursday July 29.


The Making Of Me follows the search of three outspoken British celebrities for answers about the origin of their talents. They ask the question: was it nature or nurture that made me to who I am; in other words: is talent primarily determined by our genes, or by life style, social upbringing and practicing. The series highlights musical star and known homosexual John Barrowman, athlete Colin Jackson and violinist Vanessa-Mae in their quest for answers, and was broadcasted by the BBC in the summer of 2008. To find the answers, all three were subjected to (semi) scientific tests and were examined by specialists from various disciplines like psychologists, physicians, and neurologists. An extensive review with screen captures of the episode with Vanessa-Mae is available at VMSPOS, see Vanessa-Mae: The Making Of Me.


For those able to view Dutch television and who have not seen the documentary yet, this is a real must for devoted fans of Vanessa-Mae.

That documentary was interesting! Thanks again Xanthippe. 8)

I'm wondering if a full length version of young Vanessa-Mae playing Tchaikovsky seen in the documentary exists.

Apparently, this performance was filmed. I have never seen it anywhere.

Maybe, we can ask her about this for her upcoming bday presents.

I think it's an interesting question for all vanessa's lovers fans! It would be great to see her, play the violin at that age as good as she does.
