I did miss them, thankyou

[Andy 308GTB]

Thanks for that - I'll record the whole lot.

[RDM]

Thanks, for some reason V+ wouldn't record them last time round, I'll try again.

[Eric Mc]

Be aware, the Cobra/Ferrari war programme is pretty awful and historically inaccurate.

All the others are very good.

[minisloth]

Cheers. That's my night in front of the TV planned then.

[Rob P]

Cheers

Is it the one where Carol Shelby is portrayed as gods gift to motorsport and AC hardly gets a mention?

[Eric Mc]

That's the one.

I spoke to Doug Nye about it (he was used as a consultant on the programme - and then ignored) and he was terribly upset with what they did.

I expect that was the only way Shelby would argee to it He seems to have the veto over just about everything else to do with AC so why not this

[Chuggaboom]

I'd missed the JS one when showed b4, caught the JC one and thouroughly enjoyed....watching the GH 1 as I type....enjoying them all !

[Andy47]

Thanks for the 'heads up'. I missed the Jim Clark program when it was first shown and I'm really glad I saw it this time - very interesting insight into his life.

[kiteless]

Loved the Jim Clark one. Such an unassuming fellow for such huge driving talent.

"Why is everyone else driving so slow?"

"Jim. They're not slow, it's just that you're driving so bloody fast!"

[Dominic H]

Just caught and really enjoyed 'Graham Hill:driven'.....Top man

[DJC]

Watch out for me standing in the background of the shots taken at Silverstone in 2000. It's the sequence where the old Tyrrell team are sitting in and on the car.

[DJC]

Excellent Clark proggy. I know ISW and he is a cracking bloke, loves talking about Jimmy.

Never seen Dan Gurney cry before. Thats all you ever need to see to understand the legacy of Clark.
