Murray Walker: Life in the Fast Lane......Tonight 20.00 BBC2

[johnxjsc1985]

What a life he has is having quite F...a...n...t...a...s...t..i...c!!!! Sadly I remember all of his account ditties from the ADs on TV.Never new he was an ad man.

That was the best thing mrs k & I have watched for ages. He's a bloody National Treasure is Murray.

Amazing programme. I didn't realise how old he was now and that he didn't even start commentating full time until he was retirement age!

On that note, I did find it funny how they had Schumi on the screen just as Murray was saying it was important to know when to call it a day.

Missed this and don't have posh TV

Hope they repeat it in the future.

For anybody that missed it, it's on You Tube in 4 parts...

[weyland yutani]

He's packed in a lot in his 87 years that's for sure! Murray driving the McLaren F1 is well worth a look too.

Thanks! My 'box' stopped recording too soon.

The people of his generation do seem to have had a real zest for adventure and life in general. Possibly something to do with surviving terrible times in the 1930's and 40's.
i love watching these progammes. Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Le Man ,all fantastic viewing can we have lots more please.

[CooperD]

What a really great piece of TV. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it and it's a mark of the man how well liked he is by everybody.

[bigsocksmallfiat]

What a brilliant man. If you could have him as your friend he'd be the best friend you ever had. Top guy, liked by all.

[forsure]

Nice to see that the new Snetterton circuit pays tribute.

The final corner is called 'Murrays'.

pants I missed it

and sods friggin law its the only thing not available on iPlayer

Anyone know where it may be acquired?

[FourWheelDrift]

If it's not on iPlayer it won't be a BBC production but an outside contracted production company. So don't blame the BBC if you do

[mcelliott]

Also attributed to inventing the slogan 'Opal fruits made to make your mouth water'.

Not quite.

EU thing to do with fag brands which can be shown in a historical context but limited to which media channels they are accessed through.



....because we all rushed out and stocked up on JPS, Rothmans and Marlboros on Monday morning didn't we!!!!!

[johnxjsc1985]

I didnt even see any Fag adverts, I never associated JPS with anyhting other than a beautiful black Car andI have never smoked I feel I have let them down now.The Embassy Snooker was just that nothing more.
Murray Walker is a shining example of getting the most out of every day of your life. You get out of life what you put into it.
