    James Burke is Da Man!

    his 'connections' series was exceptional. Just showed how ideas and inventions just wandered all over the place and cause enormous changes

    The Price of Gold

    30 for 30 on Tonya and Nancy.

    Well, Tonya really. Kerrigan didn't take part.

    Have to say it challenged my previous preconceptions about Tonya.

    Sure it came across quite sympathetic to her, and gave a lot of background to the trailer trashy upbringing (btw haven't seen the movie), but I quite like her as a result. Certainly far more articulate and likeable when she was at her peak than I gave her credit for back in 1994.

    Whether she had prior knowledge or not I'm not 100% convinced either way, but I'm leaning heavily (85.762%) to thinking she didn't. I suspect if there was any real compelling evidence authorities would have jumped at it (especially that DA with the awesome fake tan). The hubby, "body guard" and hire-a-thugs would make a bag of hammers look like Norman Einstein.

    Worth a watch.

    4 triple Axels out 5 1980s hair-dos (if we're scoring ike the movie thread).

    Given this horrendous weather this weekend I'd quite like to spend the day in front of the TV watching these (if only I could work out how to access them)

    The Bourdain one is throwing out a bit of controversy due to the way the makers have deep faked his voice to narrate.

    It is 40 years today that the Waikato vs South Africa game was abandoned. This is a short documentary about two brothers on different sides that day.

    @bovidae
    It's funny that (applying a good old bit of social stereotyping) you can quite clearly see from the mannerisms of the two brothers what kind of political opinions they had back then.

    @ploughboy Halfback?

    I would have liked to have gone to this game, but as a young kid my parents wouldn't allow me to, as trouble was expected.

    There's a bloody good documentary on David Geffen on Netflix

    God I love a good music documentary. And this one is a bit different.

    David Geffen is worth a fuuuuuck load of money
