This is a making-of-type featurette on Jul på Vesterbro, obviously located on the DVD of that. The majority of it is one big in-joke, that everyone is in on, and that the audience immediately can figure out, and this works remarkably well. They do slip out of it on the occasions where keeping it up would impair their ability to share things such as the film-making techniques with us. It consists of behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and some clips from the show. Everyone who speaks has something to add. On that, I have to wonder why Bossy Bo doesn't... say a word. Wouldn't one expect that a rapper could dish out quite a bit, in that department? This is both funny and informational, with a staged sequence or two, and Anden's/The Duck's impressive improvising, and earlier mentioned "playing along" getting countless laughs, and this also containing plenty of details on how they achieved certain effects(you even get to watch Matthesen's stunt). The editing gets top marks all the way, in particular the ending of this documentary is perfect. There are spoilers, I would say, so one may wish to save this until having watched every episode of the Christmas calendar(why they put it on the first disc is not a decision I can explain). It's just under half an hour, and well worth the time. This has language, themes and descriptions(not technically any violence or sexuality, apart from in the dialog) of the kind also found in the X-mas effort and other material by Anders. I recommend this to any fan of him and/or the subject of this extra. 8/10
