what Documentaries did you watch last night.

[MontyVeda]

Fairport Convention, folk heroes.

Interesting how the group got together, eventually found their core members and sound, then one by one, left the group. More line up changes than Spinal Tap

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Waiting for this, over the next two Fridays

The Concorde documentary was good too... it liked the bit about the jet fighter intercept... it's 12 miles behind Concorde, then 14, then 15. Like a bus outrunning a Ferrari.

watched this last night very interesting indeed

 

[MontyVeda]

The Isambard Kingdom Brunel doc; the man who built britain. fascinating stuff.

 

[MontyVeda]

Find Me a Family, about children looking for adoptive parents. Fascinating and a bit heartbreaking too.

Did you catch The Adoption on Radio 4 a few weeks back? That was interesting and well worth a listen.

Part 2 next Friday
Should be quite a bit about the SS Great Britain & the Great Eastern ( which was the biggest ship built for almost 40 years!)

 

[ColinJ]

The Isambard Kingdom Brunel doc; the man who built britain. fascinating stuff.

I thought so too. I didn't realise how young he was when he started those projects!

 

[MontyVeda]

Annoyingly over enthusiastic ‘puppy dog’ presenter though. His presentation style detracts from the material.

and he kept using metric

 

[GrumpyGregry]

The Jumbo the elephant one. Fascinating.

Spoiler

Especially the whisky drinking.
