I got bored. The interview person kept trying to make him look bad without understanding what the times were like back then.

I noticed iMDB gave it a 6.2/10 score. I honestly don't expect much. Still like to see it though.

Im busy watching a series called Dino Hunt. The series follow paleontologists around Canada looking for dinosaurs. It doesn't have a rating on IMDB but I am enjoying it so far.

What the Health (2017) 7.5/10

Impressively well-done & properly interesting. After that I read the Wiki entry & as we know there are two sides to every argument or view & the same applies here.

Needless to say it was thought provoking. I still believe in the middle path approach.

Champions Forever: The Formula One Drivers , a.k.a. One By One

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071942/?ref_=nv_sr_4




Another excellent F1 documentary from the days when a tyre change took 30 seconds, gravel run-offs didn't exist and spectators are able to stand next to the track - without any barriers.

If you're an F1 fan it's a must watch particularly to realise just how technology and marketing have changed the sport.

Icarus - About Russia's doping scandal.Film maker actually goes on a course for a race, then this whole russian thing came out.Very very interesting.

Also : https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/dark-side/

About how doctors have been helping athletes achieve results using designer steroids that cant be picked up with any testing at all.These doctors boost about how they take an average joe and make him a gold medalist or the best quarterback just using designer drugs.The bad thing about this is that this has the potential to destroy history and competitive sport as a whole(Even Mike Tysons name was being thrown around in this documentary).

Heard about Icarus a few weeks back but haven't had the time to watch it yet. Amazing reviews.

Another one to look our for is Wormwood.

Watched Michel Roux's series Hidden Restaurants and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this, a great summary of the Cassini mission showing just how long it lasted, the 4 gravity assist outbound journey and all it's discoveries.

Also cool that one of the scientists featured, Michele Dougherty (Imperial college London), is South African and went to the University of Natal before moving to Europe to further her space career.
