Portrait of the eccentric, charismatic British motor racing legend Graham Hill, a man who lived and died during a time when sex was safe and racing was dangerous.

Uniquely, he won the Formula 1 World Championship, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24 hours; he won the Monaco Grand Prix five times and was a great raconteur and a dashing figure with a keen eye for the ladies.

Features contributions from family, close friends and former colleagues including son Damon and track rival Jackie Stewart.

Might be worth watching while waiting for the comedy thats on at 8pm ?

Jon

the early F1 roll bars would appear to be to save the engine not the driver

That 'breakage' was a bolt falling out of the rear suspension, remember it well, was the British Grand Prix, Silverstone, 1967.
