I've just watched the Stirling Moss one and thorughly enjoyed it.
It hasn't altered my opinion about him in any way, but I'm glad I watched it. Now looking forward to watching the one about a multiple World Champion, that should be good. |

i enjoyed the moss programme more than the stewart one, i thought they could have said a bit more about jackies pre f1 career in an hour long programme, maybe they did and i missed it?
also the chef pronounced formula one in an odd way, added another syallable somewhere, other than that, good off season programmes |

There were one or two bits in the JYS programme that caught my attention, unrelated to his racing exploits really. One was the fact that he was driving (and therefore owned?) an Austin A90 Atlantic which was a huge sales flop when it appeared 60 years ago and the sort of wallowy beast that I would not have thought Sir J would have taken to, and the second was the the fact that he owned a Pantera, again not the sort of supercar from that era that I would have expected him to own. Still, good on him for both choices; he obviously still has the 'fever'.
The one thing that grated was Martin's constant reference to 'Formulee One'; never heard of it. |

Likewise. I didn't find it shallow at all. I've read a lot about Moss over the years and I wasn't expecting (or needing) an in-depth analysis. Highly enjoyable. |

Haven't got around to seeing these yet (recorded them though) but the McRae one is what I was really looking forward to. Hope they can sort it out and air it.

I thought the JYS one was a million times better than the Moss one, he came over as a much more astute, humble man.
I'd love to see a programme about the Aussie triple World Champion. |

I hope this is the case and that it hasn't been canned. Chris Hoy seemed to be in the dark about what was happening with it a few days ago... he was quite shocked that it wasn't going to go out on the evening it was scheduled to, so I guess this copyright issue, or whatever it is, must have emerged very late in the day.

Does anyone remember the C4 programme of many years ago, that ran through the night, entitled "Who do you think you are Srirling Moss?" it was a heady mixture of Doug Nye interviewing Sir Stirling and clips of many of his races? I remember setting the alarm for every 3 hours during the night to change video tapes. I still have the 9? hours on 3 tapes, but nothing to play them on!! I seem to remember that it was an EXCELLENT production.

I would love to see the programme, as im a bit of a fool for the old footage. I like yourself am lacking in a VHS player. Its funny how quickly obsolete they have become, i found the whole 2007 F1 season i had recorded on VHS the other day and thought thats really not that long ago, only 5 years. Some people have VHS to media file converters so your best bet would be trying to find someone or some company who have one if you wanted to see the programme again. |

It was like the best pub chat in the world...there was another one as well, I think devoted to Jim Clark. Alain de Cadenet compering, Roebuck as a guest.

I was massively looking forward to the Colin McRae one, I really hope that it gets aired sometime in the near future. The programme on JYS made me do some research on a racing series that I previously had never heard of: Formulee One. Unfortunately, I can`t seem to find any historical evidence that it ever existed.
I wasn`t expecting JYS to be such a humble person, he does not come across that way when he is shown in the F1 Paddock. |

The thing is aswell, Colins death is still viewed with some degree of law in Scotland, he did die doing something he shouldn't, and the BBC are not likely to be treading heavily when it comes to this sort of thing, so they will have taken a decision to can it, I suspect with due regard to the families of the lads killed in the accident, not Colin and his family.
Bizarrely I much preferred the Moss one, Sir Patrick was completely in Awe of Moss (Someone I profess to not liking much) and that really came out and was really rather touching. the Stewart one was good aswell, but I got a little tired of the lets make the chef have a good time whil telling a story. There was too much about him playing and not enough about Jackie, even though I would know most of it anyway!! |

I enjoyed them both. The 'formulee' thing was a constant irritation though. I'm not that keen on JM anyway. Anyhow, for a British motor sports fan of my age, frankly Moss is the ultimate hero. He clearly still has the marbles and I'd have been in even more awe of him than Patrick was! I was in awe from the grandstands at Le Mans in 2011 and he was so affected by my presence that he decided to retire......

On the other hand I would of loved to see one of the episodes based on either a touring car driver to round the set out. Andy Rouse would of been an interesting choice. |

Agreed on both counts. A programme on Andy, the touring car star at the height of my own BTC interest - would be terrific, if unlikely. But a sports car star would be more than possible - Derek Bell?

As for Derek Bell, what an excellent idea. He would be an interesting subject even for the non-hardcore motor-sport enthusiast. A national hero really, winning Le mans umpteen times, plus, didn't he drive for Ferrari in F1 for a while? |
