Worst Place to Be a Pilot.....three-part series just finished. Not a great advert for Indonesian airline Susi Air...but intriguing all the same. Very young pilots getting flying hours in small prop-planes in difficult airspace across Indonesia.....one was a professional gambler aged 24 with not a lot between the ears. Training is limited to say the least, and this guy really struggled with the practical side of the exam.....very good watch.

My apologies if this has already been suggested: Next Goal Wins. Pretty decent film about the American Samoan National Team, who were at one point famous for getting Mullered 31-0 by the Aussies. Just finished watching it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

How fitting that this post duplicated.

Grand Prix - Killer years on BBC4 tonight at 10pm. F1 bores the life out of me but this is well worth a watch if only for one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen on the box.

seen it and know which scenes you mean. Great programme, and heart rending in one particular bit.

Just watched it. Cant say im surprised by it all. Really depressing but worth a watch. People really need to be held accountable and put behind bars.

Dead right. Sadly, political apathy allows politicians to get away with loads of scheise.

A lost Louis Theroux classic

I don't think i'll ever get my head around the fact the KKK existed like it did in the 20's and 30's. Speechless every time i see something on them.
