Good documentaries

A fair amount of male 'bits' on show but, a really interesting story of a man living the 'here and now' by accident.

This is only a clip, so get the proper version probably on film4 where I saw it.

I don't, mate. Do you know in which they were based?

I don't, mate. Do you know in which they were based?

Yeah they were on Norman road. Used to be there a lot fixing their machines.

Is that on the industrial estate in Broadheath? Rings a bell but my pub was right in town. Liked it there, actually.

Yeah, I just remember getting on the Main Street, going down a bit and turning left. Some really old houses before you got to estate. Yeah it's a nice place.

No huge revelations if you're familiar with the Silk Road trial and some of the tech involved, but some interesting interviews with key figures including Ross Ulbricht's folks who you really feel for.
Directed by Bill S. Preston Esq of all people.

Watched the I believe in miracles film last night about Brian Cloughs all conquering Forest side.

Thought it was a great watch, and gave a great insight into how they assembled the team and the team spirit which led to them achieving unbelievable things.

My only gripe is that it could have been a bit longer, and shown more footage from the following season and them retaining the European cup, almost if not an ever bigger feat than the first time around, good show all the same.

Yep, @JordanianEmbassy got me onto this, really good, but there was definitely more to tell. Great soundtrack as well.

Never drank there but I work not far away from it, I see it's re-opened as a craft ale pub now.

Yeah, I heard from some mates up there. I used to work in the Old Roebuck years ago, too.
