Set to record

Likewise! Cheers for the heads up

Jackie Stewart tonight.

One of the greatest drives of all time in '68. After his hero Jim Clark was killed, in a new car and team with Tyrrell, he won the Ring by a lap in conditions that they would not be allowed to start the race today.

A great programme spoiled only by James Martins pronunciation of Formula 1 !!

Both programmes marred by the over-indulgence of Stewart & Martin. I appreciate I sound old and sh*t thesedays but I preferred the old Clark/Hill/Stewart documentaries of four or so years ago.

Agreed, Martin should stick to cooking.

Yer a tough crowd, as always...

I enjoyed it, even if most of it has been said many times before. Very envious of Martin's chance to drive fifteen laps of Monza in the Tyrrell... a profound experience for any petrol head, I'd imagine

Jackie Stewart, an inspiration and legend

Which driver is featured on part three?

Steve.

Watched it this afternoon, enjoyed despite Martin.

McRae tonight I think, not sure who is presenting. Will be different with the subject absent & a very different attitude to Stewart.

I've really enjoyed both program's, I thought James did alright, he's a true petrol head, i think he even owns an ex F1 car. The last one about Colin McRae is being presented by Will Hoy I think.

Is it just me? Been through the listings for tonight and can't find it - when & where is it on?

Thanks for tip off, Tut. Too much going on to pay much attention to tv listings so I'd have missed these.

I enjoyed both productions, with due respect to Greg and Dom's prefs of course. Inspired me to continue reading Jackie Stewart's book, which I'd run out of steam for TBH.
