Excellent documentary,just watched it a couple of days ago.
Those blokes have got some balls racing that circuit.
I'm sure they said that it works out that they have had 5 deaths per mile over the years.
That crash that Guy Martin had where his bike went up in a fire ball and flew higher than the bus stop and his body was thrown quite some distance from where he initially crashed.
I don't know how they still could go out and race when friends of theirs had died on the same course that very week. A different breed of person totally.
 
The Devil Came on Horseback

51WpdKKvO5L.jpg


'The Devil Came on Horseback' exposes the tragedy taking place in Darfur as seen through the eyes of an American witness who has since returned to the US to take action to stop it. Using the exclusive photographs and first hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle, 'The Devil Came on Horseback' takes the viewer on an emotionally charged journey into the heart of Darfur, Sudan, where an Arab run government is systematically executing a plan to rid the province of it's black African citizens. As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. He was unprepared for what he would witness and experience, including being fired upon, taken hostage, and being unable to intervene to save the lives of young children. Ultimately frustrated by the inaction of the international community, Steidle resigned and returned to the US to expose the images and stories of lives systematically destroyed.
Review
Brutal, urgent, devastating the documentary 'The Devil Came on Horseback' demands to be seen as soon as possible and by as many viewers as possible --New York Times
 
Anyone been watching that BBC documentary about the Social History of various streets in London ? Very interesting indeed, the way over the course of 200 years or so the social classes of people living in the same houses has swung from the being the amongst the wealthiest, to the lowest of the low - the classes of the 'vicious and semi-criminal" and then back up again !

They did about 5 streets. I watched the one about Arnold Circus last night and that was great.

I think the series has finished now, but it's probably still available to watch for those with 'catch up tv' packages.

Also watched a BBC documentary on Ussain Bolt last night. That was pretty awesome too. What a guy he is. The sound of his feet pounding the track was like a fuckin freight train flying past. Shame about the controversial new rule they've introduced to disqualify anyone who makes a false start, to which Bolt seems to be prone, i wonder what vested interest was behind that one !! (U.S. fuckin A. no doubt)
 
What I want to know is what is the maximum speed someone can run 100ms? We keep getting faster but it has to stop somewhere, or our children are gonna be watching Usain Bolt III run the 100ms in under 5 seconds or something stupid!
 
Are they ? It seems to me that Bolt is beating the opposition with yards to spare. If he has children with a female with simillar fastest sprinter genes, who knows if those children wouldnt be even faster.

edit: the message i was responding to has disappeared. It was 'i think we are already there. The margins are getting smaller'

Nice find mdb, I just watched the one on Deptford High Street as I used to spend a bit of time down there. Really interesting and more than a little moving to see how a community was more or less destroyed by town planners with ideas based on not much understanding. Streets were torn down as "slums" when there was nothing actually wrong with them, judgements on building quality were made by people who knew nothing about it.

Enjoyed the evangelist nut going about how the Devil lives there now! I've probably heard him before on some religious pirate radio station on Radio 4's frequency.

They're all still on iPlayer.

Chernobyl: A Natural History remember all those predictions that they give after the explosion of what would happen to the animals and mutations etc...this doc explains what did change.

I recorded that one but never got round to watching it as it was 2 hours long and i was running out of space on my recorder due to building up so much stuff and not getting round to watching it, so it had to be deleted unwatched. Was it any good ? (The little i saw seemed a bit on the boring side)

Vice do have lots of good documentaries. Some of their hipster wanker employees are a fucking mile out though.

I just watched this one last night. It's a drug documentary about heroin in Wales (should be names 'Whales' after seeing some of the characters on there) and is done by Vice.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned before here, but I figured I would post it here since I enjoyed it and it fits in here due to the region. It's a good one, innit (I got a kick out of them saying that at the end of every other sentence)? ;)
