No! that "single in the Hamptons"- continuingthis
Sundayat l0 p.m. andfor two moreone-hoursegments
on the following Sundaynights - is any tamerthan
Kopple'sdocumentary.
It's down and dirty - but very, very entertaining.
"If you'regoingto do it go for the grit, go for the
salaciousstuff," says 27-y ear-oldscreenwriterGavin
Wiesen,who'sa fan of "Single."
"I think BarbaraKopplewas going for somethingwith
integrity and shefell short.With all duerespectto her,
this showis morefun."
And there'sevena heartydoseof old-moneyHamptons

private seaplane- preparesfor a dinner party at her

"We like flashy,"shesays.

Prominantlyfeaturedin both documentariesis
McMullan, who saysthe Brits did a betterjob than
Kopple.
"It wasa little morein depth.It wasn'tjustsomebody's
point of view," he says.
"The characterswere more developedand it unfolded.
You really got to know who I was."
