Looking forward to this

Thanks for the heads up.

I've just set Sky to record it, otherwise I WOULD forget. (Nothing to do with the fact I go down the pub Sunday daytimes, honest)

[mattikake]

Lookng forward to this. Murray had an instrumental impact for my interest in F1 and touring cars!

Bummer about iplayer. I use it a lot.

Looks great. First this, then the Senna film. And the potentisl of a great season of F1. We are being spoilt this summer...

Done forget this either, from sniffpetrol:

[mightymouse]

Thanks for this

+1 shame about i-player, guess it is like the Jackie Stewart programme recently, probably available on DVD so they don't have the rights on it.

At least I won't miss THIS one due work like last time.

thanks for the heads up.

Nice clip of Murray onboard at Bathurst http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mYNhXzkr6s

What a great little documentary. I thought it might be a retransmission of an earlier programme avail on DVD, but no, it was based around the Oz GP this year, so very recent.
Good to see him in such rude health, and brimming over with enthusiasm as always.

Famed for the odd cock-up, he is still nonetheless a true legend, as evinced by the respect and warmth he was greeted with by everyone .

There's only "two" words to describe that documentary


FAN-TASTIC

Areed, what a great programme and what a wonderfull, enthusiastic example man he is and what a great amasador for not just F1 but everything a modern knight of the realm should be, unlike some footballers Shame it's a Twitter petition, it only has 500 odd signatures. I'd have expected thousands. can you still petiton the government on-line or was that Blair's baby?

It was taken down during the general election. It hasn't gone back up again, as they're "making some changes". It has nothing to do with a desire not to let the public have a direct say on, I don't know, some cuts...

The guy is a Legend, nice documentary.

[Streps]

Murray Walkers voice and the sound of a V10 singing along
was what first attracted me to F1 when i was a kid.
few manage to pack so much into a life like he has.

Missed it because I was stuck in traffic! Argh.

I don't have Sky so is there anyway I can watch this live on the internet or would my computer have to be in Northern Ireland to receive? (I know it isn't on iPlayer)

Thanks
