Any idea when it is out over here?

Aound the 28th of June i think - around the time of the start of the Tour de France. Very inspiring piece about Obree in the Telegraph last week.

Excellent, cheers. Makes sense for it to be out then, I guess.

Pity he was a DNS at the national 25 the other week.

Look forward to seeing it too. His book was great - brought a tear to my eye in a few places.

Just finished watching the Flying Scotsman on DVD.

Fantastic film!! For such a presumably small budget, it's extremely well made and the acting is excellent also. The location is a bit strange but good, as its partly set in the town I'm from. Ended up saying been there, been there.....

The man is clearly a very gifted person.

Would highly recommend watching it.

Great film but if you haven't yet then read the book,it is very very inspiring (and tragic also)
