I thought this little 4 minute piece on the BBC website was quite interesting -

Fantastic little video. Thanks Eric.

There is an old 1998 episode of Horizon that BBC sometimes have on their site about the exploits of Mir called "Mir Mortals" which is well worth a look.

In fact, it's still available at the moment -

Is that the one where the American astronaut said they had a fire onboard? The Russians just shrugged it off.

Yes.
