Default Racing Legends - BBC
Some of you may have seen the various comments on Facebook over the last few months about filming for a BBC documentary on Colin McRae. Seems the show is part of a "Racing Legends" series showing on BBC2 next week.

Episode 1 (27th December, 8PM) is fronted by Patrick Stewart and details the career of Stiring Moss.

Episode 2 (28th December, 8PM) is fronted by Chris Hoy and details the career Colin McRae.

Episode 3 (TBA) is fronted by James Martin and details the career of Jackie Stewart.

Slightly odd choice of presenters in my opinion, but hopefully they are all worth a watch. More blurb on the shows in the series on the BBC website:

I've subsequently been told that both James Martin and Chris Hoy are both Petrolheads, so fingers crossed they make a decent job of presenting the programmes!

No you won't be able to view beyond seven days exactly. You need to record 'series'. You should get the option when you click on the program you wish to record unless there's no more in the series.

James Martin did a documentary a few years back showing his preparation and then taking part in the Mille Miglia. He is a big petrolhead, but still seems a bit of an odd choice.

Its not a genuine Group A car in the programme? Thats a shame, though I guess not entirely a surprise as I understand Chris Hoy gets to drive it!

http://www.tvguide.co.uk/channellist...MWPXUBGQQLIVWO

...and the Jackie Stewart episode is tomorrow:

http://www.tvguide.co.uk/channellist...MWPXUBGQQLIVWO

Now can't see a date on the McRae programme yet? Anyone spotted it on the Sky planner?

they may of produced it but the way things are at the bbc maybe they are reconsidering airing it. due to the damming report on the reasons for the helicopter crash.

Unless I've missed another report, the last release with regards to the crash was months ago, they have only been filming quite recently.

Yes, but the BBC have also had a lot of grief very recently, which might be the cause of the rethink, rather than new info re McRae

Really enjoyed the first of three.

Sir Stirling Moss how cool is he, certainly has lived life to the full.

I didn't realise they had British grand prixs at Aintree?

Well worth watching..

Just watched the Stirling Moss one (i'm a day behind watching stuff on sky+). What a cracking programme

Amazing that he survived the crash at Goodwood, hitting the bank at St. Marys at about 100mph with no seatbelt and a helmet that was designed for polo horse riders....

If you look on Google Earth you can see pretty much the whole circuit is still there. Nice to see it hasn't been dug up.

Really enjoyed the two shown so far, would like to know when (if) we are going to see the McRae programme though.


EDIT: BBC programme page still indicates there are three episodes in the series, "more information coming soon":

there is apparently some sort of "contractural dispute" which is the reason for the Mcrae program delay.........

Couple of websites now saying that the McRae programme will air 27th January, can't see it on the TV guide yet, so fingers crossed!

Forgive the double post, but the BBC site now confirms the 27th January air date for the McRae programme:

Yeah, really enjoyed that, definately worth the wait.

(Wonder if some of the Top Gear team were responsible for the filming? Thought some of it was very TG in style)

Great programme. 2001 in Wales was superb - the Burns/McRae battle at the final round of the WRC that year. Spectators everywhere in those days, such an atmosphere. Wish the sport was still as popular these days.
