We joined the "digital age" a week ago (old TV finally gave up the ghost), thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks for flagging.

I read the book by William Fotheringham (Put me back on my Bike) a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I felt he more or less got to the bottom of what did / didn't happen.

Will be interesting to compare.

Great film, well worth recording if you can't watch it live.

 

[Noodley]

Yep agree, deffo worth watching/recording

 

[Gerry Attrick]

Never seen it before. Thanks for the alert.

It is worth watching and the scenes at the end,with the music, brought tears to my eyes. Haunting

 

[BigGar]

This really is well worth watching. Superb documentary.

Well worth watching. I think I'll record it and transfer it to DVD (if I get round to transferring it ).

I watched it live but I was hoping to watch it again

I managed to get my hands on a recording.


It was worth watching to see the old footage of him riding. However, if you are interested in it then William Fotheringham's book (he is interviewed in the programme) gives a much more detailed explanation of what happened and a plausible conclusion as to why he died.

a very plausible conclusion. He got information (about the brandy) out of a former team member that didn't feature in that team member's talks to cycling clubs!
