Default Documentary about exploitation of Elvis impersonators

A very long shot I know, just wondering if anyone has a copy of this tv doc from about 15 yrs ago tucked away somewhere.
It was as strange as it sounds-a pub manager in the North of England was making a fortune promoting a regular Elvis night. The impersonators had varying degrees of mental handicap and the documentary was trying to establish if their love of performing was more important than the fact they weren't getting paid. One of the performers was called 'Jarrow Elvis'. I seem to remember that the doc itself courted some controversy. I collect strange/odd/weird Elvis films/documentaries/programs, someone borrowed my copy of this and never gave it back.....
thanks.
