Documentaries
Re: Documentaries
Biker season is coming up with the North West 200 and the IOM TT approaching fast. So sat down to watch "Road" last night, a doco dedicated to the Dunlop family, the greatest road racers ever. Have renewed respect for Michael Dunlop now who I always considered a bit stuck up/aloof.

Re: Documentaries
I enjoyed the Bangkok onebuksida wrote:Netflix is showing a series called Midnight Asia which takes a look at the major cities in the region after dark - food, drink, nightlife, sights, and scenes. Really makes me want to travel again, but that avenue of pleasure has been closed off by the Thai government at the moment.
Must get round to the others
Is there one that sticks out to you as the best?

They were all very watchable, but for me, it was Japan since I've always wanted to go there.

Went twice but was a 2/3 night layover each time. Far too much drinking with Cousin in Roppongi and not enough tourism.buksida wrote:They were all very watchable, but for me, it was Japan since I've always wanted to go there.
Tokyo is spotlessly clean and mega efficient.

Re: Documentaries
A couple of BBC documentaries available on iPlayer
House of Maxwell - "One family, fifty years of scandal. The rise and fall of a media mogul and the unravelling of his deeply troubled family. A staggering tale of money, sex, privacy and power." And culminating, of course, in the demise of the daughter, Ghislaine. 3 episodes. Haven't seen this yet, but I remember the scandals well and I'm looking forward to it.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/ ... of-maxwell
Dynasties II: More of the same level of astonishing filming. The first two episodes were puma and elephant, next up is the cheetah. Series 1 is also available if you haven't seen it or fancy a second look.

Re: Documentaries
I think the confusion is that "Road" is from 2014, not recent - and indeed on Amazon!pharvey wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 12:11 amApologies - crossed posts.

Re: Documentaries
Wonderful for those of us who have Prime! Probably worth mentioning in your original post, though, lindos...lindosfan1 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 06, 2022 11:59 pmIt ison Amazon., have not tried downloadingit, never do it.
